Fool . . .

I can be a fool just as well as anybody can
Just a little rope and I'll hang myself like any other man
I'm not so different from the rest
So please don't put me to the test
I don't get my kicks when I hurt you or I make you cry
I can find the courage for anything I want to if I try
I know I have to take the risk
A strange dependency I guess

It's a simple case of matter over mind
It's a human race
There are winners all the time
Just a pretty face 
Such a pretty face

I go walking right in her general direction
I go talking without a fear of my detection
And I've been called every name in the book
But I don't care about it 
Some kind of crook may be remorseful
But if you take a look then you'll see
What kind of fool that I can be

You looked at the world your own way rose-colored spectacles
Only heard the things that you chose
Saw what you wanted to see
You didn't look too hard at me
Had no idea what I could be
On the other hand in my case I knew I wanted you
I could see the trust in your eyes
A trust so far out of place
You didn't see through my disguise
It hit you right between the eyes

Now the game I played is all over and done
Though it hurt you so
There's no way you could have won
So it wasn't fair
Do you think I care

I'll do anything to take advantage
Of a situation thrown my way
I'll move a mountain if I think I have to
I'm moving mountains every day

Call me anything that you want
That's your prerogative
Be as honest as you can be
Make sure you hold nothing back
I'll have to take it like a man
I'll do it any way I can
Odds I won't refute what you say
I've heard it all before
Yes I've heard it time and again
Because I've lived it and what's more
It's just of part of who I am

Do you think I'll change can an old dog learn new tricks
Turn my life around 
There's so much I'd have to fix
No it can't be done
I'll just have my fun
