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
