You were in the right
And I was the fool
I'm just not too bright as a general rule
So have some compassion
I'm not what you see
Not even a fool like me

Well I had it coming
But I couldn't have known
I paid no attention
To the goings on
And a sad situation
Is as sad as it can be
For even a fool like me

Call me the fool
I'm listening
Show me you understand
Show me the things I'm missing
Call me the fool I am

Well I've been mistaken
For most of my days
And lately I'm aching
Just to change my ways
And the prodigal's  yearning
Is easy to see
In even a fool like me

Call me the fool
I'm listening
Show me you understand
Show me the things I'm missing
Call me the fool I am
