WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I?

Sammy Davis, Jr.



What kind of fool am I

Who never fell in love

It seems that I'm the only one

that I have been thinking of



What kind of man is this?

An empty shell-

A lonely cell in which

an empty heart must dwell



What kind of lips are these

That lied with every kiss

That whispered empty words of love

that left me alone like this



Why can't I fall in love

Like any other man

And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am.



What kind of clown am I?

What do I know of life?

Why can't I cast away the mask of play

and live my life?



Why can't I fall in love

Till I don't give a damn

And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am
