Famous Last Words of a Fool in Love

Take my coat, take my hat
Take my breath away just like that!
Turn the tables on me, paint new labels on me
Winding the clock back nice and slow
Make me laugh till I weep
Make me lonesome for you in my sleep
Is this lover lust?
Bottom tear or rubber crust?
We''ll find out soon enough, we know
Younger woman, older man
Why can’t we make this work?
Don’t you know we can?
Famous last words of a fool in love
I’ve been out of touch so long
Been going at it hammer and tongs
Sure that I can build a wall higher than a man can fall
Famous last words of a fool in love
This is not about a choice you make
It’s not about a chance you take
Looking for the next cheap drill
Or the magic in the little blue pill
Is how do you feel with your hopes up high
I might have been a handsome lad
Back when I didn’t look so mad
And this is what a fine, amazing
You and I could go out blazing things
Famous last words of a fool in love
Famous last words of a fool
