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 to be learned, and a page I should have turned,
I shouldn't cry, but I do, like an Ordinary Fool,
when his ordinary dreams fall through.
How many times have I mistaken good looks and laughs for bad news?
How many times have I mistaken good looks 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 his ordinary dreams fall through. (Instrumental Solo)
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 his ordinary dreams fall through.
Only a fool, that same old story, seems I was born for the part.
It's a lesson to be learned, and a page I should have turned,
I shouldn't cry, but I do, like an Ordinary Fool,
when his ordinary dreams fall through.
How many times have I mistaken good looks and laughs for bad news?
How many times have I mistaken good looks 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 his ordinary dreams fall through. (Instrumental Solo)
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 his ordinary dreams fall through.
