Cover of "Baka Darou" (Playing the Fool) from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
This is one of my new favourites! It definitely has a similar sentiment to Baka Mitai, but I really enjoyed it all the same.

Composed by Yuri Fukuda and lyrics by Ryosuke Horii.

Also known as ばかだろう from 龍が如く8 (Ryū Ga Gotoku 8, "Like a Dragon 8")

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Baka darou
Konna ore wo ai suru nante
Ima mo mada nodo moto ni nokoru I LOVE YOU

[Pre-Chorus]
Munashii yoru ni tejaku de hitori nomu sake wa
You hodo ni kanashikute umaku mo nai koto
Zutto wakatte ita no ni

[Chorus]
Baka darou
Baka da ne baka da yo baka yarou
Saigo no saigo made
Nakasete bakari no baka yarou

Anata wo aishiteru mo
Ienai mama nante
Baka darou

[Verse 2]
Baka darou
Konna ore wo matte itta nante
Kokoro kara aishitetta itsumo ozoi
Hontou baka da na

[Saxophone Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Soba de anata ga tsui de kureta biru naraba
Don'na ni nuruku tatte
Ma sukuwanai koto
Zutto wakatte ita no ni

[Chorus]
Baka darou
Baka da ne honmani baka yarou
Anma ni aishite kurete ittanoni
Baka yarou

Ima made arigatou mo
Ienai mama nante
Baka darou
