(M. Knopfler)

I never thought I'd be the one

To be the raging bull

There'd always be a smoking gun

Who'd up and lose his cool

I never thought I'd have to say

I'm sorry, my love, because

I'm the fool I never

Fool I never thought I was

I left my dreams with broken strings

It's time I learnt to talk

Stop falling over things

Teach myself to walk

I'm not a superman

Or Mr. wonderful,

because I'm the fool I never

Fool I never thought I was

I'm the know it all

Trying to mend his broken heart

But I don't know how to call

And I don't know where to start

Now if you should lose your faith in me

I don't know where I'd run

I hope you'll always let me be

Your only one

Am I your one true love

Or am I too late for your applause

I'm the fool I never

Fool I never thought I was

Darling, I'm the fool I never

Fool I never thought I was
