Harry Chapin - Poor Damned Fool Lyrics
You're a livin' walkin' dreamYou're the best I've ever seen,Oh God I wanted you.I've often dreamed what I would do,If I could give myself to you,Oh God I wanted to.But up 'til now you've not been free to beFoolin' around with the likes of me.But it's changed now, though it's strange how,He's the one that arranged it now.But he's a poor damned fool'Cause he went and let you go now.Just a poor damned fool.He never will know now.Maybe someday he'll be sad.I say that that's too bad,He never knew how much he had.I'm glad I got you now.Yes I've had my ups and downsAs I've been ramblin' aroundAnd I'll be candid.I could not believe my eyesWhen I finally realizedJust what that man did.Yes I've heard 'bout finders keepersAnd how losers are the weepers, it's OK,I know it's my lucky dayStill I just got to say . . .That he's a poor damned fool'Cause he went and let you go now.Just a poor damned fool.He never will know now.Maybe someday he'll be sad.I say that that's too bad,He never knew how much he had.I'm glad I got you now.Oh how I'd love to hear you sayYou're glad that it worked out this wayAnd you'll forget about yesterday'Cause you feel so good.It's worked out real good.You make me feel so good.I've been tryin' to find a way to copeWith grasping straws And fallen hopes.But he's made a wayAnd now his misfortune is my gain.Though for now it gives you painIt'll fade awayAnd you'll find that
