Randy Newman
The Fool (Piano/Vocal Demo)
[Intro]
(How blind the fool can be)
Am I a fool?
Well, they say I'm a fool
(You're a fool!)
Why must you criticize the things I do?
'Cause you're a fool

[Verse 1]
I have friends (You have no friends)
I have lots of friends (Not anymore)
They'd do anything for me
(Oh, how blind the fool can be)
What'd you say?

[Verse 2]
There was a time
I guess I had it all
I had it all
I was loved (He was loved)
No, I was worshipped
But I threw it away (Pity the fool)

[Verse 3]
And the one
I really care for
He no longer cares for me
(How blind the fool can be)
[Verse 4]
The road gets roughеr
The further you go
Seems like lifе gets a little bit tougher
The more that you know
Oh, should I have done unto others
Like they have done to me?
Nah
(How blind the fool can be)
Who you callin' a fool?
(How blind the fool can be)
It's hurtin' me
(Pity the fool)
It's hurtin' me
(Pity the fool)
It's hurtin' me
(Pity the fool)
Ow
