Fool of the century
Well I waited and I waited up at day and night
Thinking that my phone would ring.
But you never gave me a second thought
And told all your friends about me.
Yes you told them all about what a clown I was
And how you had me on the end of a string
Now I got a t**le for which I'm known
And that"s the Fool of the Century
Well you seem so close
But just out of reach
I'm always chasing something down the road
And it's way too late, I've shoulda learned my lesson
A long long time ago.
But now no matter where I wander
All over town
I can hear them laughing at me
Yes they all whisper when I walk by:
'There goes the fool of the century'
Well I tried my best to look like happy-hie
With your first class company
But they all looked at me in disbelieve
And didn't take me seriously
Well now I followed you around for a long long time
Practically down on my knees
Then they all sent me to the head of the class
As the fool of the century.
Yes, the fool of the century
Mmmh, the fool of the century!
