No More the Fool

Just why I stayed around
When all I found was a heartache
I believed your every word
Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make

But why did it take so long
Alas, now I've seen the light
I found the heart to say


No more the fool
Who waits around
Waitin' for you to bring me down
Those days are gone now

No more the nights
Layin' awake
Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break


No more the sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground
While I'm waitin' around
No more the fool


You thought I'd break
Then you were wrong
That I wouldn't see what's goin' on
But I knew

Here I am
I'm alive
And you'll see I'll survive
Without you


And I won't be the one who comes runnin'
It ain't like it used to be
It's your turn to run to me


No more the fool ...
All the nights I waited for you to call
I waited for a sign that you would stay
But it's so clear
You didn't care at all

No more the fool


No more the fool
Who waits around
No more the fool
No more the clown
No more the fool

No more the sight
No more the sound
And hit the ground
No more the fool

No more the fool ...
No more the fool
No more the sight
No more the sound
No more the fool

No More the Fool, Elkie Brooks, 1986
