A Fool for Your Stockings Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Is it you again outside
Just banging on the front door?
You say you had enough
Now you're coming back for more

[Chorus]
But that's alright
I said that, "That's alright"
I may not want to admit it
I'm just a fool for your stockings, I believe

[Verse 2]
Now, I don't mind when you send money
And bring your girlfriends with you
But how could one be so thoughtless to try
And handle less than two?

[Chorus]
But that's alright
I said that, "That's alright baby"
I may not want to admit it
I'm just a fool for your stockings
I believe, yeah

[Instrumental Break 1:39-2:59]
[Verse 3]
Now, I'm telling everybody
It seems too good to be true
Sweet things can always get sweeter
I know mine did, how about you?

[Chorus]
Yes, it's alright
I said yes it, yes it is, "That's alright"
I may not want to admit it
I'm just a fool for your stockings, I believe

[Instrumental Outro 3:32-4:16]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
