[Verse 1]
My love, my love, she came to me
Said, "Open up your heart, love, so I can see"
Oh my boy, my boy, where have you been?
I had my eyes closed and could not have sinned

[Verse 2]
And my heart, my heart, began to beat
Out from the bridge and out to the street
Oh my love, my love, where did you go?
Ask somebody else 'cause I just don't know

[Verse 3]
Oh my love, my love, she took my hand
Led me to a bridge and said, "Please understand"
Then my boy, my boy, I let you go
Ovеr to the river wherе the waters flow

[Verse 4]
And my love, my love, what have you seen?
I said, "I'm sorry, don't know what you mean"
Oh my boy, my boy, what did you see?
Ask somebody else, baby, don't ask me

[Chorus]
What an idiot, he run around
Like a chicken with its head cut off
What an idiot, he run around
Like a chicken with its head cut off
What an idiot, oh won't you please
Tell me, baby, when's it gonna stop?
What an idiot
[Verse 5]
Then my head, my head, began to ache
And it was quite clear I'd made a big mistake
Oh my love, my love, did she not know
Take her to the river where the waters flow

[Verse 6]
And my love, my love, you've seen it all
Stare quite bravely at a white-washed wall
And tell me, honey, are you blessed or cursed?
With a heart that beats so much, it bursts

[Chorus]
An idiot, he run around
Like a chicken with its head cut off
An idiot, he run around
Like a chicken with its head cut off
What an idiot, oh won't you please
Tell me, baby, when's it gonna stop?
An idiot

[Bridge]
Oh, it's a wonderful life
I never felt so alive
I never felt so alive
Oh, it's a wonderful life
I never felt so alive
I never felt so alive
Oh, it's a wonderful life
I never felt so alive
I never felt so alive
Oh, it's a wonderful life
I never felt so alive
I never felt so alive
