A Proper Fool Lyrics & Chords By Gilbert O'sullivan

I couldn't get nobody to stand de-liver
I couldn't get nobody to sit the pain
But when I hit the door as I sometimes rule
Honey you really should have seen me yeah
I looked a proper fool
I wouldn't let her over the legal limit
I wouldn't let her over the counter claim
Yet when she kicked the legs from under my stool
Honey you really should have seen me yeah
I looked a proper fool
Everyone's a winner now
No-one is denied
Try telling that to let see
Civilians who have died
Soldiers too are victims mind
They bear the blunt of hate
But inside tanks
You get no thanks
I couldn't let on that I was old and able
Couldn't let on that I was more than game
Yet when I waded in thinking there's a pool
Honey you really ought to have seen me yeah
I looked a proper fool
Honey you really should have seen me yeah
I looked a proper fool
Fool or not I can't except
Justice isn't blind
Kill somebody with your car
End up being fined
Kill somebody in it though
And you'll get put away
Not for all time
That would be a crime
I couldn't get nobody to grow impatient
Couldn't get nobody to pour in rain
So when I hit the road even though it's cruel
Honey you really should have seen me yeah
Honey you're never gonna believe me yeah
Honey you promise not to repeat it yeah
[Honey we promise not to repeat it yeah]
I looked a proper fool
I looked a proper fool
