Half the Man (Twice the Fool)

Half the Man (Twice the Fool) - The Blues Band/Ian McLagan

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 I'd 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 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

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 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

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

Half the man twice the fool

Half the man twice the fool

Half the man twice the fool

Half the man twice the fool

Half the man twice the fool

Half the man twice the fool

Half the man twice the fool

Half the man twice the fool

Half the man twice the fool
