The Blue Shadows - The Fool Is The Last One To Know lyrics

rate me

(Billy Cowsill/Ralph Boden Johnson)

Now I'm just a working man

And I've done all that I can

To keep you in your ribbons and your bows

Talk gets around

In a small country town

Where the fool is the last one to know

It takes a fool to do the things I do

Have to be a fool, a fool like me

To be so in love with you

Have your parcels growing cold

Is there someone that you hold

Lights die out when you're alone

Who's that so and so

Darling who's your Romeo

Oh the fool is the last one to know

It takes a fool to do the things I do

Have to be a fool, a fool like me

To be so in love with you

I overheard you on the phone

You were whispering sweet and low

Something that I'd never heard before

Saying just what lovers say

When two lovers talk that way

Yes the fool is the last one to know

It takes a fool to do the things I do

Have to be a fool, a fool like me

To be so in love with you

Yeah sure talk gets around

In a small country town

Where the fool is the last one to know

I guess the fool is the last one to know

Yes, I'm the fool and I'm the last one to know
