Paint two eyes, make them cry
Paint two lips, make them lie
And you're painting
The portrait of a fool
Paint one heart that's been untrue
Paint one soul, make it blue
And you're painting
The portrait of a fool
There are some things
That look so familiar
Strange what this
Resemblance can be
And now as I look in the mirror
I know, I know the fool
You are painting is me
Paint one tear, let it fall
Paint two hands
That once held it all
And you've painted
A portrait of a fool
Paint two lips, make them lie
And you're painting
The portrait of a fool
Paint one heart that's been untrue
Paint one soul, make it blue
And you're painting
The portrait of a fool
There are some things
That look so familiar
Strange what this
Resemblance can be
And now as I look in the mirror
I know, I know the fool
You are painting is me
Paint one tear, let it fall
Paint two hands
That once held it all
And you've painted
A portrait of a fool
