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

Its 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

Its 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
