What a Fool

Sometimes I lay awake and wonder
What kind of fool I must be

Having ever been so careless  
As to let you slip away from me

Now there’ll be ten thousand others
Who’ll be knocking at your door

The instant word gets out
You’re not mine any more

Tonight I’m drowning in my sorrows
Wondering how far I’m going to fall 

I’ve made some big mistakes
This the biggest one of all
