Lyrics：Paul Williams Music：Paul Williams Only a fool, like fools before me I always think with my heart. Only a fool, that same old story, seems I was born for the part. It's a lesson to be learned, and a page I should have turned, I shouldn't cry, but I do, like an Ordinary Fool, when his ordinary dreams fall through. How many times have I mistaken good looks and laughs for bad news? How many times have I mistaken good looks and laughs for the blues? When a road I've walked before ends alone at my front door I shouldn't cry but I do, like an Ordinary Fool, when his ordinary dreams fall through. (Instrumental Solo) When a road I've walked before ends alone at my front door, I shouldn't cry but I do, Like an Ordinary Fool, when his ordinary dreams fall through
