Paul Stephenson - The Man Is A Fool

Text:
Ever since I was a boy of seventeen
I've been living in someone else's dream
I saw it in the books and on the TV screen

I thought that love would always pull me through
And I thought my dreams would all come true
They said they always did if you wanted them to

Just one thing they forgot to say
You've got to play by the rules
And I know what you're gonna say
The man is a fool

I wrote letters to my girlfriend every day
Cos' that's what the best songs used to say
It was just another love that slipped away

But some things are stronger than starry eyes
Take longer than you realize
You start to get used to the sad goodbyes

It doesn't work out cos' you want it that way
You can't make your own rules
And I know what you're gonna say
The man is a fool

Disappearing dreams and the loss of love
You mustn't have wanted them bad enough
You can't complain when the going gets rough

The smiles of success and the jet-set scene
Still as far away as they've ever been
Still something that you read in a magazine

Nobody told you it would be this way
You didn't know there were rules
And I know what you're gonna say
The man is a fool
