Rodney Crowell

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

Hang new labels on me

Wind the clock back nice and slow

Make me laugh till I weep

Make me lonesome for you in my sleep

Is this love or lust, bottom tier or upper crust?

We'll find out soon enough you know

Younger woman

Older man

Can we make this work?

Ah, you know we can

Famous last words of a fool in love

Oh I've been out of touch so long

Been going at it hammer and tong

Sure that I could 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 thrill

Or the magic in a little blue pill

How do you feel with your hopes up high?

I might have been a handsome lad

Back when I didn't look so bad

And this is what I find amazing, you and I could go out blazing

Famous last words of a fool in love

Famous last words of a fool in love
