A Fool Such as I Lyrics

Pardon me, if I'm sentimental
When we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me should I cry
When you're gone, yet I'll dream
A little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I

Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I

"You taught me how to love and now you happened to be untrue" his first experience of love has turned bad, but he'll always remember his first, just as everyone will.

This is a rare song because of it's point of view. He is asking forgiveness for being good as a way of showing that he isn't bad.

I think every kid has done this, where they'll cut their sister's hair or something and really screw it up by accident and when the mom gets mad, he'll say, "Sorry I cared about my sister's well-being, sorry I tried to make her look nice, I just messed up, sorry I'm human."

That sort of thing.
