It was so long ago I can still remember
Dancing slow to ‘The Great Pretender’
That’s when I fell in love with you
Now my friends call me, the King of the Fools
King of the Fools, King of the Fools
Now they call me King of the Fools
You were breaking hearts and all the rules
Only the best would do
Oh, I was such a fool,
When I fell in love with you
King of the Fools, King of the Fools
That’s when they crowned me, King of the Fools
It was summer and the days were long
Filled with sunshine, we were living just for fun
The days grew cloudy and rain it did fall
That’s when you said, ‘I don’t love you no more’
King of the Fools, King of the Fools
Now my friends call me the King of the Fools
My friends told me but I guess I knew
I’d always be the King of the Fools
