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 that I've learnt
And a page I should have turned
I shouldn't cry
But I do
Like an ordinary fool
When her ordinary dreams
Fall through
How many times
Have I mistaken
Good looks and lies
For bad news?
How many times
Have I mistaken
Love songs and laughs
For the blues?
When a road I've walked before
Ends alone at my front door
I shouldn't cry
But I do
Like an ordinary fool
When her ordinary dreams
Fall through
It's a lesson that I've learnt
And a page I should have turned
I shouldn't cry
But I do
Like an ordinary fool
When her ordinary dreams
Fall through
