The Blues Band - Half the Man (Twice the Fool) Lyrics

When you were by my side
I would not be satisfied
I thought the grass was greener over the hill
You gave me your heart

But I held back a part
Saying "Maybe" when I should have said "I will"
Now I must admit
That I could not commit

I thought Id always be your Mister Right
And when you said "Were through"
I said "There'll be somebody new"
And let you walk away without a fight

(Leaving me)
Half the man and twice the fool I was
Had a master-plan believed I was the boss
Now I'm at the hard knock school

'Cause I broke the golden rule
Now I'm half the man and twice the fool I was
A man can spend his days
In a melancholic haze

Of yesterdays and how-things-used-to-be
Hindsights never wrong
Now I know where I belong
There's no woman in this world but you for me

Time and time again
There were warnings from my friends
They said "you'll lose her if you carry on this way"
But I was Mr Know-It-All

Riding for a fall
When you walked out the blues walked in to stay
(Finding me)
Half the man

Look at this three time loser
Now that you're gone
I lost my heart, I lost your love
I lost the will to carry on

Half the man
