Lyrics

King of Fools

I was born a king of fools
Most people think I'm just a playboy breaking rules
But they don't know that when it comes around to love, I always lose
That's why I call myself the king of fools

I was born never to care
But now I want a love that I can share
I searched in vain for a love that would never be true
That's why I call myself the king of fools

King of fools, king of fools
When it comes around to love, I always lose

I was born without one good thought
Just to live fast, to lie and break your heart
I have broken many hearts, and I've broken many rules
That's why I call myself the king of fools

King of fools, king of fools
When it comes around to love, I always lose

I was born the king of fools
At any other game, I never lose
But when it comes around to love, that's when I realize
I was born the king of fools

King of fools, king of fools
When it comes around to love, I always lose

King of fools, king of fools
At any other game, I never lose

King of fools
King of fools
When it comes around to love, I always lose
