Fool Of The Century

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I waited and I waited all day and night Thinkin' 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've got a title for which I'm known And that's the Fool of the Century [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] But now no matter where I wander All over town I can hear them laughin' at me Yes, they all whisper when I walk by: "There goes the fool of the century" [Violin Solo] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] Well, I tried my best to look like I fit in 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 knee Then they all sent me to the head of the class As the fool of the century [Bridge] Well, you seem so close But just out of reach I'm always chasing something down the road Yeah, it's way too late, I've shoulda learned my lesson A long long time ago! [Chorus] And 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" [Outro] Yes, the fool of the century Mmmh, the fool of the century!
