3-F Blues (Find ’Em, Fool ’Em, Forget ’Em)

[Verse 1]
Now women always talked about my father
They said he was the rottenest son of a gun in town
'Cause he was known to mess up a woman, man
And turn right around
And put her down
He said, "Son, let me give you some advice
You better remember this
The rest of your life"

[Chorus]
He said find 'em, fool 'em and forget 'em
That's the best thing to do
He said find 'em, fool 'em and forget 'em
Before they hurt you
He said, "Son, oh, son
I wouldn't tеll you no lie"

[Verse 2]
Now I didn't listen to my father, baby
I wеnt right on and gave my heart to you
You walked on it, baby, stomped on it
Until finally you smashed it in two
You treated me worse than a dog
You didn't even show any mercy at all

[Chorus]
I think that I should've found you, fooled you and forgot you
Like my father said
I should've found you, fooled you, yeah, and forgot you
'Cause now I wish I was dead
Oh baby, oh baby
Girl, you really hurtin' me, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh baby, baby

[Verse 3]
Now that I'm grown, mhm
And I got a son now
I'm teachin' him the same thing, yeah
Every day I used to hear my father say
I said, "Son, before you start courtin' women
I think I better warn, you, yeah"

[Chorus]
I think that you better find 'em, fool 'em and forget 'em
That's the best thing to do
You better find 'em, fool 'em, yeah, and forget 'em
Before they hurt you
I said, "Son, oh, son
I wouldn't tell you no lie"
I think that you better find 'em, fool 'em and forget 'em, mmm
You better find 'em, fool 'em
