Here I sit, a nobody with no one Bein' me ain't really all that fun Leavin' her wasn't very smart Admittin' I was wrong would be so hard If it was cool to be a fool I'd be the hippest guy around If a heartache made you famous I'd be know from town to town It tears were made of pennies And cold beer brought her back My bank account and self esteem would both be in the black If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had Hey, I could be a star If it was cool to be a fool But we all know the way it really is You don't get recognized for doing things like this You spend a lot of time feelin' sorry for yourself It doesn't really mean that much to anybody else If it was cool to be a fool I'd be the hippest guy around If a heartache made you famous I'd be know from town to town It tears were made of pennies And cold beer brought her back My bank account and self esteem would both be in the black If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had Hey, I could be a star If it was cool to be a fool Hey, I could be a star If it was cool to be a fool
