Fool Of The Century by BR5-49 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I waited and I waited all day and night
Thinkin' that my phone would ring
But you never gave me a second thought
And told all your friends about me

Yes, you told them all about what a clown I was
And how you had me on the end of a string
Now I've got a title for which I'm known
And that’s the Fool of the Century

[Bridge]
Well, you seem so close
But just out of reach
I'm always chasing something down the road
And it's way too late, I've shoulda learned my lesson
A long long time ago

[Chorus]
But now no matter where I wander
All over town
I can hear them laughin' at me
Yes, they all whisper when I walk by:
“There goes the fool of the century”
[Violin Solo]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Well, I tried my best to look like I fit in
With your first class company
But they all looked at me in disbelieve
And didn't take me seriously

Well now, I followed you around for a long long time
Practically down on my knee
Then they all sent me to the head of the class
As the fool of the century

[Bridge]
Well, you seem so close
But just out of reach
I'm always chasing something down the road
Yeah, it's way too late, I've shoulda learned my lesson
A long long time ago!

[Chorus]
And now no matter where I wander
All over town
I can hear them laughing at me
Yes they all whisper when I walk by:
“There goes the fool of the century”
[Outro]
Yes, the fool of the century
Mmmh, the fool of the century!
