A Fool I Am - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Now I make right noises in all the right places

I’m taking crash courses in all social graces

I used to have a laugh, but now it’s passed

I did everything I could to resist you

Still you broke me down the first time I kissed you

I used to be such fun, now it’s done

Mistakes

I wish I never made mistakes

It breaks me down to think of mistakes I made

A fool

I wish I’d never be what a fool

It breaks me down to think what a fool I am

I do what you want 'cause I’m under your spell

I used to be happy, now I must do well

I used to be a clown, now I’m running 'round

Now I make right noises in all the right places

I’m taking crash courses in all social graces

I used to have a laugh, but now it’s passed

Mistakes

I wish I never made mistakes

It breaks me down to think of mistakes I made

A fool

I wish I’d never be what a fool

It breaks me down to think what a fool I am

I did everything I could to resist you

Still you broke me down the first time I kissed you

I used to be such fun, but now it’s done

I do what you want 'cause I’m under your spell

I used to be in Heaven, now I’m in Hell

I used to be a clown, now I’m running 'round

Mistakes

I wish I never made mistakes

It breaks me down to think of mistakes I made

A fool

I wish I’d never be what a fool

It breaks me down to think what a fool I am
