What Kind of Fool lyrics

What kind of fool is a man

To stand just as tall as he's able

Only show his winnin' hand

His losin' cards under the table?

And if dreamin' and believin'

Is his only plan

Tell me, what kind of fool is a man?

What kind of fool is a man

To take every heart he has broken?

Tenderly holdin' the hand

He lies with the words he has spoken

He's forsaken 

And he'll take in all that he can

Tell me, what kind of fool is a man?

Is he tougher than diamonds?

Is he stronger than steel?

Is his heart full of silence?

If he's hurt, won't he heal?

Oh, and why can't he find words

To say what I feel?

Oh, is what he's afraid of for real?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

He might fumble with a few words

But the words won't suffice

You have taken his heart so

That he would lay down his life

What kind of fool is a man?
