Poor Damned Fool Lyrics

 You're a livin' walkin' dream 
 You'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 be 
 Foolin' 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 downs 
 As I've been ramblin' around 
 And I'll be candid. 
 I could not believe my eyes 
 When I finally realized 
 Just what that man did. 
 Yes I've heard 'bout finders keepers 
 And how losers are the weepers, it's OK, 
 I know it's my lucky day 
 Still 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 say 
 You're glad that it worked out this way 
 And 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 cope 
 With grasping straws And fallen hopes. 
 But he's made a way 
 And now his misfortune is my gain. 
 Though for now it gives you pain 
 It'll fade away 
 And you'll find that as the years roll by 
 The memories of the time you cried 
 Will be laid away 
 Yes, they'll fade away

 And you'll forget that 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.
 He was a poor damn fool.
