What a Fool
 
Don't look so sad, don't hang your head to cry
Things can't be that bad, try to look on the brighter side
In a very short while you'll be remembering the better times
And then you'll stop to think...
 
What a fool I've been, feeling sorry
What a fool I've been, for myself
What a fool I've been, wasting time,
What a fool I've been, what a fool, what a fool.
 
Don't lose yourself, just try to be somebody
Don't stand behind everyone else, everybody's got their story to tell
Tell me something, could you really go that far
Or are you thinking...
 
What a fool I've been, feeling sorry
What a fool I've been, for myself
What a fool I've been, wasting time,
What a fool I've been, what a fool, what a fool.
 
Come with me, you can easy change your mind
Or stay the same and watch yourself fall behind
Do it now, quick before it's too late, now's the time, don't hesitate
And when you see more clearly you'll realise what a fool
What a fool, what a fool, what a fool I've been, what a fool.
 
Don't cry alone, there's always someone waiting there
To take you home, all you need is a dream to share
You're not the only one one to think the world's against you.
And just like you...
 
What a fool I've been, feeling sorry
What a fool I've been, for myself
What a fool I've been, wasting time,
What a fool I've been, what a fool, what a fool, what a fool, what a fool.
