Baby, I know the story
I've seen the picture
It's written all over your face
Tell me, what's the secret that you've been hiding?
And who's gonna take my place?
I should have seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know?
You never told me
Baby, you should've called me
When you were lonely
When you needed me to be there
Sadly, you never gave me
Too many chances to show you
How much I care
Ooh, should have seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know?
You never told me
About the pain and the tears
Ooh, If I could
I would, turn back the time
Ooh yeah I should have seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know?
You never told me
"Fool Again"은 아일랜드의 보이 밴드 Westlife의 노래로 그들의 셀프 타이틀 데뷔 앨범 <Westlife>의 다섯 번째이자 마지막 싱글로 발매되었다.
Jörgen Elofsson, David Kreuger, Per Magnusson이 작곡하였고, David Kreuger, Per Magnusson이 프로듀싱한 이 곡은 Westlife 데뷔앨범의 5번째 싱글이면서 동시에 그들의 5연속 UK 싱글차트 No.1 히트송이 되었고, 차트에서 12주를 머무르며 많은 사랑을 받았다.
이 곡의 뮤직비디오는 멕시코시티에서 촬영되었는데, YouTube에서는 현재까지 1억 2000만 조회수를 앞두고 있다.
가사가 이쁜 곡으로도 유명한데, 하나하나 살펴보면 참 쉬운 문장들임에도 불구하고 멋진 표현들이 많다. 이 곡은 내가 군대를 전역한 후에 발표되었기에 잘 몰랐는데, 2000년대 중반에는 학교에서 영어 시간에 문장패턴의 [조동사, 조동사 + have +pp 형태]를 공부할 때 많이 인용되어서 한국 학생들에게는 많이 친숙한 Westlife.
