I/R
Oh yeah... Sometimes it's so easy
And sometimes I forget her
But I want you back again
Back again
I/R
Maybe it's lucky
You win some and you lose some
Oh, when you've found a good one
Don't you let her get away
Don't let her go
I/R
Oh yeah... If only I could love you
Just the way I want to
Oh, to have you back again
Back again

Chorus
G
Oh, I'm just a fool baby
Playing Mr. Cool baby
A
Rolling round like I got nothing much to lose
C
But I know you and you know me
And I know you can see
G
So help me get my way back to you
Back to you
I/R
Walking past your window
Used to mile when you'd throw
Your sweet kisses back to me
Back to me
Oh yeah... Remember when I asked you
If you'd be my one true
Oh, it seems like yesterday
It's yesterday
Oh yeah, and I'm just a fool baby
Playing Mr. Cool baby
Rolling round like I got nothing much to lose
But I know you and you know me
And I know you can see
So help me get my way back to you
Back to you
A G
I want you so take me back please
A G (roll back into I/R)
Take me back, oh, to you
I/R
If only I could love you
Just the way I want to
Yeah
I'm just a fool baby
Playing Mr. Cool baby
Rolling round like I got nothing much to lose
But I know you and you know me
And I know you can see
So help me get my way back to you
A G
I want you so take me back please
A G (roll back into I/R)
Take me back, oh, to you
I/R
If only I could love you
Just the way I want to
Yeah
Yeah I know baby, I know (I/R to fade…….)
