What Kind Of Fool

There was a time when we were down and out
There was a place when we were starting over
We let the bound break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now?
There was a world when we were standing still
And for a moment we were separated
And then you found her
You let the stranger in
Who's sorry now?
Who's sorry now?
What, what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
Losing you now
Wonderin' why
Where will I be tomorrow?
Forever more that's what we are to be
Without each other
We'll be remembering when
There was a time when we were down and out
(We cried)
There was a place when we were starting over
(We lied)
We let the bound break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now?
Who's sorry now?
What, what kind of fool (what kind of fool)
Tears it apart (tears it apart)
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
Oh, losing you now
How can I win?
Where will I be tomorrow?
Was there a moment when I cut you down? (no)
Played around?
What have I done?
I only apologize
For being, as they say, the last to know
It has to show
When someone is in your eyes
What kind of fool (what kind of fool)
(Tears it apart)
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
(Leaving me pain and sorrow?)
Oh, losing you now
(Wondering why)
Wondering why, why?
Where will I be tomorrow?
(Where will I be tomorrow?)
What kind, what kind of fool
Tears it apart (tears it apart)
Leaving me pain, pain
(Leaving me pain and sorrow?)
Losing you now (losing you now)
How can I win? (how can I win?)
Where will I be tomorrow?
