Lyrics
What kind of fool am I who never fell in love?
It seems that I’m the only one that I have been thinking of.
What kind of man (life) is this? An empty shell,
A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell.

What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life?
Why can’t I cast away this mask of play and live my life?
Why can’t I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I’ll know what kind of fool I am.

What kind of lips are these that lied with ev’ry kiss,
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?
What kind of eyes are these that could not see
What could be seen by ev’rybody else but me?

What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life?
Why can’t I cast away this mask of play and live my life?
Why can’t I fall in love ‘til I don’t give a damn?
And maybe then I’ll know what kind of fool I am.
