Mel Torm — Ordinary Fool

[Verse 1] 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 that I've 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 [Bridge] How many times have I mistaken Good looks and laughs for bad news? How many times have I mistaken Good news 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 break] [Verse 1 repeated] 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 that I've 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 Like an ordinary fool When his ordinary dreams fall through
