Lyrics
Oh! Carol i am but a fool
Darling, I love you
Though you treat me cruel you hurt me
And you make me cry but if you leave me
I will surely die
Darling, there will never be another
Cause I love you so don’t ever leave me
Say you’ll never go
I will always want you for my sweet heart
No matter what you do oh! Carol
I’m so in love with you
Oh! Carol i am but a fool
Darling, I love you
Though you treat me cruel you hurt me
And you make me cry but if you leave me
I will surely die
Darling, there will never be another
Cause I love you so don’t ever leave me
Say you’ll never go
I will always want you for my sweet heart
No matter what you do oh! Carol
I’m so in love with you
