Call me what you like but I’m a fool
I’m a fool – I’m a fool
Call me what you like but I’m a fool
Forever falling in love with you

I’m a fool let me tell you
I’m a sentimental clown
My total dedication built me up to let me down
I’m a fool let me tell you
I really didn’t see
That her face was in your eyes
As you gave your love to me
I’m a fool – a fool for you

Call it what you like but it ain’t love
It ain’t love – it can’t be love
Call it what you like but it ain’t love
Cos you don’t feel the way…I do

I’m a fool let me tell you
I’m a sentimental clown
My total dedication built me up to let me down
I’m a fool let me tell you
I really didn’t see
That her face was in your eyes
As you gave your love to me
I’m a fool – a fool for you
