What kind of fool am I 
Who never fell in love 
It seems that I'm the only one 
that I have been thinking of 

What kind of man is this? 
An empty shell
A lonely cell in which 
an empty heart must dwell 

What kind of lips are these 
That lied with every kiss 
That whispered empty words of love 
that left me alone like this 

Why can't I fall in love 
Like any other man 
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am 

What kind of clown am I? 
What do I know of life? 
Why can't I cast away the mask of play 
and live my life? 

Why can't I fall in love 
Till I don't give a damn 
And maybe then 
I'll know what kind of fool I am
