ZZ Top- A Fool For Your Stockings (lyrics)

Is it you again outside,
Just banging on the front door?
You say you had enough,
Now you're coming' back for more,
But that's alright.
I said that that's alright.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe.
Now I don't mind when you send money
And bring your girlfriends with you,
But how could one be so thoughtless to try
And handle less than two?
But that's alright.
I said that that's alright, baby.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe.
Now I'm tellin' everybody
It seems too good to be true:
Sweet things can always get sweeter.
I know mine did, how about you?
Yes, it's alright.
I said, yes it is, that's alright.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe.

[@calvinharris1782]

I remeber playing this on a jukebox in a bar in 79 when I was 13. A lady friend of my brother got me a Rum n Coke and at that point I felt I had arrived. Lol Great memories with this tune through the years.

The best blues song ever created in my opinion.

[@wolfpackman3175]

I Totally Agree 💯

Ahhh, good memories from the 80's with this song, really good. RIP Dusty, you are missed. Nuff' said ;)

[@rhondagoodrich6188]

People don't know how good the musicians from Cleveland Ohio really are this song can kick off the entire evenings mood at a bar when it's done with feeling and as close to original , you just can't change perfection . I have heard it from some of the best local bands I've grown up listening to live , and they've always played with pride while playing ZZ top, Dusty would be proud.

[@seanmcmonagle4012]

Absolutely from Cleveland Heights!

[@justinneal-mj1os]

Dude their from Houston Texas started in I think '69 they aint from Cleveland lol

I’ve listened to them all my life. They’re dogs and don’t give s shit who knows it. They create lyrics that are comical as hell and they know it. Think about what he’s saying...I may not want to admit it, I’m just a fool for your stockings I believe. He knows very well that box is the mainest attraction. Another song they do Give it Up. He says “ you got to give it up baby and tell me where it’s at”. Tell him where it’s at...... lmao. And yes chicks crawl all over them.

[@dentistlinguist6569]

They were big at least where I grew up, in Finland and Sweden in the 70's and 80's.

[@JohnSmith-op1tc]

A real treat to work in a micromarket where the latitude was there to play the deep cuts off Deguello, like "Manic Mechanic" and this one. Saw this tour for my first ZZ Top concert in '80 and the boys cracked off six tunes without a break to start the show. RIP Dusty and if the fates allow, I will see a Top show in a fifth decade here next year.

[@garylegrand7048]

When Asked. "Whose my #1 Blues Rock Band".... Hands down...!! Greatest Damn Band from Texas....ZZ TOP.... AND YOU... will see how badass they are....when you try to playing their MUSIC

Awesome show in KC this year but I did not hear this one, which is one of my favs.

[@eddieplunkett6761]

ZZ top actually playing music

[@spotremovers]

One of the best contemporary Blues songs. I'd put it right up there with Jimi's "Red House" or The Rolling Stones' version of "Love in Vain" or Eric Clapton and Duane Allman "Key to the Highway". And how about The Allman Brothers, "Stormy Monday" etc etc etc

[@JohnSmith-op1tc]

I saw them perform for the first time in the 1980 tour done in support of this album. They followed The Outlaws, cracking off six tunes without a pause to begin their show. I have seen them four times since, and look forward to any tour in the 20's, so as to make it a fifth decade in which I have witnessed The Top. If only they would add this to their setlist, which has been pretty consistent from '05 to '17 to '18. Worth the ticket cost, regardless.
