More Fool Me
[JOE]
Who knew it, boy wonder
Who'd guess you could get it so wrong?
You timed it too early
You came on too soon and too strong
Now look where you've landed
Full of hurt and empty handed
Wrong girl, wrong time, wrong place
Six words so neatly
Summing up one case
What kind of fool would tear a team apart?
What kind of fool idea was that of teamwork?
I blundered in and now my
Blundered heart is under lock and key
Well more fool me
So no prizes, young lover
In future try using your brain
One error, boy wonder
She knows you'll be nothing but pain
You scuppered your chances
Following your heart's advances
Wrong girl, wrong time, wrong place
When slow and steady
Might have won the race
'Cause any fool would tell you
"Fools rush in
And wind up winning only loser's trophies."
And what I've lost I'm now afraid to win
And fear I'll always be...
Well, more fool me
Yes, more fool me
For allowing my heart to lead
And giving me the one thing I don't need
Another lesson in the game of love
Another reason not to show my feelings
Another signal sent from up above
Which any fool could see -
And this fool would agree -
Means, "more fool me."
Yes, more fool me
