The Longer Engagement

64: Im Just A Fool

Monday, June 24th, 2024

"Hey sweeties!" Mallorie exclaimed happily messing around with the kids. They'd been recording with Katie and Matthew, no, not the ass hole one. These two were a couple and they're great with music. She just got here. Santana and Brittany came in behind her.

"What are y'all doing here?" Sam asked.

"What, we can't be here? I have to record a song with you, you big dummy." Santana said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh, right. I totally forgot about that." He said, grinning cheekily.

"Is it weird that I've never heard you two sing together after knowing you for almost ten years?" Brenda asked. The two looked at each other.

"No, we haven't sung together in a long time." Sam answered.

"I need to tell Sam and Brittany something." Mallorie said, sitting at her desk. They were all confused and Katie and Matthew left the room for a minute.

"What?" Brittany asked.

"Well, you're a professional dance, right?" She asked Brittany."Like, can you ball dance and all that?"

"Well, yeah, why?"

"Because you and Sam have been invited to be on 'Dancing With The Stars' in September." She answered. Sam's jaw dropped.

"Are you serious?" Brittany asked excitedly.

"Very. What do you think Sam?" She asked him.

"I-I don't know, Mallorie." He said, and all the girls looked at him.

"What? Why?" He shrugged.

"I would have to be in LA for a long time during the show, and I can't leave Brenda alone in Ohio with the kids." He said.

"Sam, I'll be fine."

"I still don't want you there by yourself, even if the kids are with you. I mean, we don't know what could happen. Trust me, I would love to do it but I mean..."He trailed off.

"Look, Sam, me and Santiago can stay with her and I can probably convince Rachel and Finn to stay there with us until the season is over." Santana said. He stayed silent for a few minutes, thinking it over.

"I guess I'll do it then." He said, and they all got excited.

"Well, lets get this song over with."

"Have you even seen the lyrics yet?" Sam asked Santana.

"Nope. But it's probably good considering you wrote it." She said, walking into the booth.

"Did she really just give me a complement?" Sam asked. Brenda laughed and nodded, pushing him into the booth with her. Katie and Matt came back in.

"Alright you two, were ready to go." Matt said, and they nodded. The music started and Santana began singing.

(Santana)

Uh
Eh

Another shot of whiskey please bartender
Keep it coming 'til I don't remember at all
How bad it hurts when you're gone (no, no, no, no)

Turn the music up a little bit louder
Just gotta get past the midnight hour (uh, huh)
Maybe tomorrow it won't be this hard

Who am I kidding?
I know what I'm missing

Oh, I had my heart set on you
But nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I waited and waited so long
For someone who'll never come home
It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah, yeah)
I'm just a fool
(Yeah)

(Sam)
I say that I don't care and walk away, whatever
And I tell myself we were bad together (uh, huh)
But that's just me trying to move on without you

(Both)

But who am I kidding?
I know what I'm missing

I, I had my heart set on you
But nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I waited and waited so long
For someone who'll never come home
It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah, yeah)

(Sam)

I'm just a fool

For holding onto something that's
Never ever gonna come back
I can't accept that it's lost

(Santana)

I should've let it go
Held my tongue
Kept my big mouth shut
'Cause now everything is

(Both)

Just wrong, wrong, wrong

I'm just a fool
A fool for you
I'm just a fool

I, I had my heart set on you (uh)
But nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I waited and waited so long

(Santana)

For someone who'll never come home

(Both)

It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah, yeah)
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool

It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm just a fool

"That was amazing, guys. Lets just run through it one more time!"
