"The Fool" lyrics

The Fool

Gather around me buddies
Hold your glasses high
And drink to a fool
A crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye

Too late he's found he loves her
So much he wants to die
So drink to a fool
A crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye

He needs her
He needs her so
And he wonders
Why he let her go

She's found a new love, buddy
He's a lucky guy
So drink to a fool
A crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye
Who told his baby goodbye
