Don't know what he sees in me He is spirit, he is free And I, the wife of adultery Gomer is my name. Simply more than I can see How he keeps on forgiving me; How he keeps his sanity Hosea, you're a fool.
Chorus: A fool to love someone like me, A fool to suffer silently; Though sometimes through your eyes I see I'd rather be a fool.
The fondness of a father, The passion of a child; The tenderness of a loving friend An understanding smile. All of this and so much more, You've lavished on a faithless horror I've never known love like this before Hosea, you're a fool.
Chorus: A fool to love someone like me, A fool to suffer silently; Though sometimes through your eyes I see I'd rather be a fool.
Bridge: This God of yours would not have told To lift a love that you couldn't hold; And though time and time again I flee, I'm always glad to see you coming after me!
Simply more than I can see, How he keeps on forgiving me The wife of adultery; Gomer is my name.
