Lyrics Kenny Rogers

Kenny Rogers

Twentieth Century Fool

She was into loving me

I was into being free

No one woman was ever going to get me to settle down

I chase a new one every day

I let the good ones slip away

Come all dressed up and I got nothing to do

Fallin' in love with the wrong one

Runnin' away from the strong one

Living my life like I've got something better to do

Lookin' to find me a real love

Out every night trying to steal love

Chasin' myself like a twentieth century fool

Sweet thing on the boulevard

He was rich and she was bored

Her old man's got a big car, he can buy her anything

She's looking for a little side romance

She took me home and made me dance

She slammed the door, never even asked me my name

Fallin' in love with the wrong one

Runnin' away from the strong one

Living my life like I've got something better to do

Lookin' to find me a real love

Out every night trying to steal love

Chasin' myself like a twentieth century fool

Put an end to running around

Found a girl and we settled down

Plain Jane girl who wanted to start us a family tree

I got the papers yesterday

She gets the house, I get to pay

Some guy wearing a tshirt is drinking my beer

Fallin' in love with the wrong one

Runnin' away from the strong one

Living my life like I've got something better to do

Lookin' to find me a real love

Out every night trying to steal love

Chasin' myself like a twentieth century fool
