| They like to get you mad and cause some guys a conniption
|
| Well, they might giggle, too, and laugh right in your face
|
| Yeah, they think it’s so cute when they’ve got to act unchristian
|
| But I think we should show them His grace
|
| And I say
|
| Why fight a fool by being foolish? |
| He always wins
|
| When I fight a fool by being foolish, he always wins
|
| He’ll laugh at you or insist he wasn’t wrong
|
| And then you’ll come out regrettin' it
|
| Well, I finally sought out the authority on these things
|
| Oh, yeah!
|
| Solomon the preacher, he said if we think we’ll not fight
|
| He said, foolish speech won’t lengthen if you shut up, son
|
| He said, though the stuff that you told them could prevent them dyin'
|
| Ooh, they’re dyin' to make it sound like all that was dumb
|
| And so I say
|
| Why fight a fool by being foolish? |
| He always wins
|
| When I fight a fool by being foolish, he always wins
|
| He’ll laugh at you or insist he wasn’t wrong
|
| And you’ll come out regrettin' it
|
