(Dwight Yoakam, Kostas)



As you look into my eyes

And tell those empty lies

I'll pretend they're true

'Cause that's what I do



As you sit and hold my hand

And smile at other men

I'll pretend I'm blind

'Cause I'm just that kind



I'm the king of fools

And I'll always reign

Over loneliness and pain

The king of fools wears his crown

Wherever misery can be found



As you walk away with him

And I lose at love again,

I'll pretend to see

That you're still with me

But I'll be there all alone

Like a king upon a throne

'Cause I'm the king of fools

Yes, I'm the king of fools
