BEEN A FOOL

I've been a fool,

For gold.

I've been a fool,

For a song.

I've been a fool,

Growin' old.

I've been a fool,

All along.

I've been a fool,

For a cause.

I've been a fool,

For no reason.

I've been a fool,

An' got no applause.

I've been a fool,

For every season.

I've been a fool,

For a pretty face.

I've been a fool,

For a rhyme.

I've been a fool,

All over the place.

I've been a fool,

Time after time.

I've been a fool,

From the start.

I've been a fool,

For love.

I've been a fool,

From the heart.

I've been a fool,

For the sky above.

I've been a fool,

Over money.

I've been a fool,

An' knew.

I've been a fool,

Once too many.

I've been a fool,

Enough for two.

But what's a fool to do?

Fools fall in love too.
