Paroles de I Played The Fool

Oh, I
Oh, I
I played the fool

A good guy, bad guy
Punchline, frown
The joke fell flat
I′ll come around
Look who volunteered to play the fool

A sea change came
It knocked me down
I'm setting up
The punchline now
Look who tried too hard to play it cool

Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
I played the fool

Laugh at me
I′m trying, trying Cruel, cruel, cruel

Sticks and stones
You know the rhyme
You know it landed
Hard this time
Look who tried too hard to play it cool

We laugh and move on
With our lives
I'm bootstrap pained
But nevermind
I'll find a way
To rewrite our beginnings
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
I played the fool

Laugh at me
I′m trying, trying
Falling sometimes
Sometimes flying
Cry me an ocean
Of one liners
Cry me an ocean
Of one liners
Cry me an ocean
Of one liners
Cruel, cruel, cruel
