A Lesser Fool
(Kern/Ratts)

A lesser fool is living my life
is wearing smiles
that should have been mine
and stays at what would have been my place
sipping my champagne

A lesser fool sits on your couch
And laughs until the sun comes out
Listens to your CD collection
And never hears you speak of me

A lesser fool than I is loving you
And I hope you’re very happy, too
With a lesser fool

A lesser fool is living my dream
and he isn’t as dumb as he seems
You’re the first sight he sees in the morning
And the last voice he hears at night

A lesser fool stays by your side
And he doesn’t over-analyze
A lesser fool would know a good thing
From the log that’s in his eye

A lesser fool than I was overdue
So I wish the very best for you
And a lesser fool

Hey
Sometimes it just happens that way
And there’s nothing you can do
But start again on page two…
