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 laughs   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
