[Verse 1]
People, let me tell y'all about my father
He was known as the meanest, baddest lovemaker in town
The man had a reputation shuckin' and jivin' all the women
And breakin' their hearts, Lord, and leavin' 'em cryin'
Told me, "Hon, let me give you some advice
Y'all remember for the rest of your life"
[Chorus]
He told me to find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Woah, well, I didn't listen to what my father told me
And I went off, gave my heart to you, boy
And then you walked on me, you misused me
Finally, you broke my poor heart in two
The way you treated me, Lord, I wouldn't treat a dog
You didn't even show me any mercy at all
[Chorus]
I wish I had found you, fooled you, forgot you
Like my daddy said
I wish I had found you, I could have fooled you and forgot you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Daddy said "Find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em
