(Paul Evans - Paul Parnes)

I'm in a depression
I can't shake the blues
I just read your letter
Goodbye was today's bad news.

Oh, there's a fool born every minute, every minute of the day
And I'm the fool who was born today
Yes, there's a fool born every minute, every minute of the day
And life is cruel when you're a fool.

There's no one to turn too
I chased them away
When I thought you loved me
And now all that I can say.

Is there's a fool born every minute, every minute of the day
And I'm the fool who was born today
Yes, there's a fool born every minute, every minute of the day
And life is cruel when you're a fool.

--- Instrumental ---

I don't go to places
Where friends of mine go
I can't stand their faces
When they say I told you so.

Oh there's a fool born every minute, every minute of the day
And I'm the fool who was born today
Yes, there's a fool born every minute, every minute of the day
And life is cruel when you're a fool.

Well, there's a fool born every day and today it looks like I'm it...
