"Portrait Of A Fool" lyrics

Portrait Of A Fool

Paint two eyes
Make them cry
Paint two lips
Ooh, make them lie
And you're painting
A portrait of a fool

Paint one heart
That's been untrue
Paint one soul
Ooh, make it blue
And you're painting
A portrait of a fool

There are some things that look so familiar
Strange what this resemblance can be
And now as I look in the mirror
I know
I know the fool you are painting is me

Paint one tear
Ooh, let it fall
Paint two hands
That once held it all
And you've painted
A portrait of a fool
