Born-again Fool

He sits on a park bench and stares into space

Thinking of his bright future that has now been erased

He once loved a woman whose love wasn't true

Now all that remains is a born-again fool

Mistakes, he's made many in his passage of life

She was the first wrong he couldn't make right

She left him no reason, she left no excuse

All she left was the shell of a born-again fool

Believing that her love would be his salvation

But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation

Another falsado, another heart torn in two

Oh, there's no one as lost as a born-again fool

Well, he gave all she asked for, she took all he had

She made him her puppet with no strings attached

He did all she wanted but he never knew

She was only creating a born-again fool

Believing that her love would be his salvation

Faith in her heart proved to be his damnation

Another falsado, another heart torn in two

Oh, there's no one as lost as a born-again fool

He sits on a park bench still wondering why

As the whole world unnoticing passes him by

Such a forlorn conclusion that his life led him to

Betrayed and deceived he's a born-again fool
