I've got a story here
I'm calling it the Fools' King
'Cause it'd take a fool
To treat you like a plaything, baby,
This is how it goes
A woman's love is like the diamonds in a penthouse
A woman's heart is like diamonds in a roadhouse, baby,
Any schoolboy knows
It doesn't matter if you win or lose, no,
Love is a ball and chain
You've got to stop
To either pledge your time
Or go home to the street again
But that was back then, baby,
And if any truth can heal things
I know my love was nothing like the real thing, baby,
So I'd like to say
That'll never be the same
Now that the bitter part has come
And I can tell I only have myself to blame
It was all because
Of the way my love was
Before the change in me
And that'll never be
No that'll never be the same
Love like a river
Sorrow like the sea
Love like a river
Sorrow like the sea
Everywhere I look I see your face
Turn away from me
Diamond on the table
Know how deep it starts
Diamond on the table
Know how deep it starts
Deep down as jealousy
Can cut a young man's heart
But now that the past is almost gone
And every unkind word repaid
And I can tell that any love this strong
Can never be betrayed
Darling don't feel bad
'Cause of what some fools might have said
'Cause when it all is said and done
You're the one who spent the nights away
But I was the faithless one
And I know that'll never be the same
Now that the bitter part has come
And I can tell I only have myself to blame
It was all because
Of the way my love was
Before the change in me
And that'll never be
No that'll never be the same
