There's no fool like a young fool with wild and careless ways
|
Who forgets about tomorrow and lives just for today
|
If she could only realize the sorrow that's in store
|
She'd try behaving on for sights and honky tonk no more
|
It breaks my heart to see her drinking there with tavern lights a shining in her hair
|
She won't seem sweet sixteen tomorrow as today
|
There's no fool like a young fool who throws her life away
|

|
Now the dim lights and the drinking seems like fun I know
|
But she'll find out one morning that you reap just what you sowed
|
The sad part is she'll be alone once she starts to fall
|
There's no fool like a young fool who thinks she knows it all
|
It breaks my heart...
