Rodney Crowell - Famous Last Words Of A Fool In Love lyrics

rate me

Take my coat, take my hat,

Take my breath away just like that!

Turn the tables on me, paint new labels on me

Winding the clock back nice and slow.

Make me laugh till I weep

Make me lonesome for you in my sleep.

Is this lover lust?

Bottom tear or rubber crust?

We''ll find out soon enough, we know.

Younger woman, older man

Why can’t we make this work?

Don’t you know we can?

Famous last words of a fool in love

I’ve been out of touch so long

Been going at it hammer and tongs

Sure that I can build a wall higher than a man can fall

Famous last words of a fool in love.

This is not about a choice you make

It’s not about a chance you take

Looking for the next cheap drill

Or the magic in the little blue pill.

Is how do you feel with your hopes up high

I might have been a handsome lad,

Back when I didn’t look so man

And this is what a fine, amazing

You and I could go out blazing things.

Famous last words of a fool in love

Famous last words of a fool
