Only a fool
Like fools before me
I always think with my heart


Only a fool,
That same old story

Seems I was born for the part

It's a lesson to be learned

And a page I should have turned
I shouldn't cry but I do,
Like an ordinary fool

When his ordinary dreams fall through

How many times

Have I mistaken
Good looks and laughs for bad news?


And how many times
Have I mistaken
Good looks and laughs for the blues?


When a road I walked before
Ends alone at my front door

I shouldn't cry but I do,
Like an ordinary fool
When his ordinary dreams fall through
