(Boy, why did you cry? Why did you lie?)
I just don't know
I thought I was onto a good thing
But how wrong can one man be?
(Fool, now that she's gone, admit that you're wrong)
I know I am
I thought I was big, but I just didn't dig
What a crazy fool I'd been

Sometimes I sit and wonder why
I've made such a mess of my life
But underneath, I know the reason why
The reason for this strife

I've been a fool (Baby, you show it)
And I've been uncool (Baby, you know it)
But I never thought that it could turn out like this

(Fool, now that she's gone, admit that you're wrong)
I know I am
I thought I was big, but I just didn't dig
What a crazy fool I'd been

Sometimes I sit and wonder why
I've made such a mess of my life
But underneath, I know the reason why
The reason for this strife
I've been a fool (Baby, you show it)
And I've been uncool (Baby, you know it)
But I never thought that it could turn out like this

(Boy, why did you cry? Why did you lie?)
I just don't know
I thought I was onto a good thing
But how wrong can one man be?
