No More The Fool

Elkie Brooks


Just why I stayed around 
When all I found was a heartache 
I believed your every word 
Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make 

But why did it take so long 
Alas, now I've seen the light 
I found the heart to say 

No more the fool 
Who waits around 
Waitin' for you to bring me down 
Those days are gone now 

No more the nights 
Layin' awake 
Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break 

No more the sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground 
While I'm waitin' around 
No more the fool 

You thought I'd break 
Then you were wrong 
That I wouldn't see what's goin' on 
But I knew 

Here I am 
I'm alive 
And you'll see I'll survive 
Without you 

And I won't be the one who comes runnin' 
It ain't like it used to be 
It's your turn to run to me 

No more the fool  
All the nights I waited for you to call 
I waited for a sign that you would stay 
But it's so clear 
You didn't care at all 

No more the fool 

No more the fool 
Who waits around 
No more the fool 
No more the clown 
No more the fool 

No more the sight 
No more the sound 
And hit the ground 
No more the fool 

No more the fool  
No more the fool 
No more the sight 
No more the sound 
No more the fool
