As you look into my eyes

And tell those empty lies

I'll pretend they're true

'Cause that's what I do

As you sit and hold my hand

And smile at other men

I'll pretend I'm blind

'Cause I'm just that kind

--- Instrumental ---

As you walk away with him

And I lose in love again

I'll pretend to see

That you're still with me

But I'll be there all alone

Like a king upon a throne

'Cause I'm the king of fools

Yes, I'm the king of fools...

--- Instrumental to fade ---
