You're a livin' walkin' dream You're the best I've ever seen, Oh God I wanted you. I've often dreamed what I would do, If I could give myself to you, Oh God I wanted to. But up 'til now you've not been free to be Foolin' around with the likes of me. But it's changed now, though it's strange how, He's the one that arranged it now. But he's a poor damned fool 'Cause he went and let you go now. Just a poor damned fool. He never will know now. Maybe someday he'll be sad. I say that that's too bad, He never knew how much he had. I'm glad I got you now. Yes I've had my ups and downs As I've been ramblin' around And I'll be candid. I could not believe my eyes When I finally realized Just what that man did. Yes I've heard 'bout finders keepers And how losers are the weepers, it's OK, I know it's my lucky day Still I just got to say... That he's a poor damned fool 'Cause he went and let you go now. Just a poor damned fool. He never will know now. Maybe someday he'll be sad. I say that that's too bad, He never knew how much he had. I'm glad I got you now. Oh how I'd love to hear you say You're glad that it worked out this way And you'll forget about yesterday 'Cause you feel so good. It's worked out real good. You make me feel so good. I've been tryin' to find a way to cope With grasping straws And fallen hopes. But he's made a way And now his misfortune is my gain. Though for now it gives you pain It'll fade away And you'll find that as the years roll by The memories of the time you cried Will be laid away Yes, they'll fade away And you'll forget that poor damned fool 'Cause he went and let you go now. Just a poor damned fool. He never will know now. Maybe someday he'll be sad. I say that that's too bad He never knew how much he had. I'm glad I got you now. He was a poor damn fool.
