What Kind Of Fool Am I

Brilliantly Performed by Danny Couch
Originally: Frank Sinatra (Francis Albert Sinatra)

by: Leslie Bricusse / Anthony Newley
Lyrics Transcribed by Lea Cook

What kind of fool am I, who never falls in love?
It seems that I'm the only one that I’ve been thinking of.
What kind of man is this? An empty shell, a lonely cell
In which this empty heart must dwell?

What kind of lips are these that lie with every kiss?
That whispers empty words of love
And left me alone like this?

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 clown am I?
What do I know of life?
Why can't I cast away this mask of play

and leave me to live my life?
Why can't I fall in love, till I don't give a damn?
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am.
