[Verse 1]
People, let me tell you 'bout my father
He was known as the meanest, baddest lovemaker in town
He had a reputation of getting 'round all the women
For breaking their hearts, and leaving 'em all crying

[Pre-Chorus]
And he told me "son, let me give you some advice
Gotta remember this for the rest of your life"

[Chorus]
He told me to find 'em, fool 'em, and forget 'em
Remember the fullest
Find 'em, fool 'em, and forget 'em, yeah

[Verse 2]
I didn't listen to what my father told me
Already gave, gave my heart to you, girl
You walked on it and misused it
Finally broke my heart in two

[Pre-Chorus]
The way you treated me, wouldn't even treat a dog
Didn't even show, show me no mercy at all

[Chorus]
I wish I had found you, fooled you, and forgot you
Like my father said
I wish I had found you, fooled you, and forgot you, yeah
I wish I had found you, fooled you, and forgot you, yeah yeah
I wish I had found you, fooled you, and forgot you, yeah
