King Of Fools
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Iwas born a king of fools
Most people think
I'm just a playboy breaking rules
But they don't know that
When it comes around to love I always lose
Why I call myself the king of fools.
I was born never to care
But now I want a love that I can share
I've searched in vain for a love
That would never be true
That's why I call myself the king of Fools
King of fools, king of fools
When it comes around to love I always lose
I was born without a good thought
Just to live fast, tell a lie and break a heart.
I have broken many hearts
And I've broken many rules
That's why I call myself the King of Fools.
King of fools, king of fools
When it comes around to love I always lose
I was born a King of Fools
At any other game I never lose.
But when it comes around to love
That's when I realize I was born the king of fools.
King of fools, king of fools
When it comes around to love I always lose
King of fools, king of fools
At any other game I never lose.
King of fools, king of fools
When it comes around to love I always lose
