  • Don't laugh at me cause I'm a fool
    I know it's true, yes I'm a fool
    No-one seems to care
    I'd give the world to share my life with someone
    Who really loves me
    I see them all falling in love
    But my lucky star hides up above
    Someday maybe my star will smile on me
    Don't laugh at me cause I'm a fool

    I'm not good-looking, I'm not too smart
    I may be foolish but I've got a heart
    I love the flowers, I love the sun
    But when I try to love the girls
    They laugh at me and run

    Don't laugh at me cause I'm a fool

    No-one seems to care
    I'd give the world to share my life with someone
    Who really loves me
    I see them all falling in love
    But my lucky star hides up above
    Someday maybe my star will smile on me
    Don't laugh at me cause I'm a fool Writer/s: JUNE TREMAYNE, NORMAN WISDOM
