(dwight yoakam, kostas)
As you look into my eyes
And tell those empty lies
Ill pretend theyre true
cause thats what I do
As you sit and hold my hand
And smile at other men
Ill pretend Im blind
cause Im just that kind
Im the king of fools
And Ill always reign
Over loneliness and pain
The king of fools wears his crown
Wherever misery can be found
As you walk away with him
And I lose at love again,
Ill pretend to see
That youre still with me
But Ill be there all alone
Like a king upon a throne
cause Im the king of fools
Yes, Im the king of fools
