SAME OLD FOOL LYRICS
Mark Paul Smith
VERSE 1
Do you ever think about
The first time you kissed me
Probably not anymore
On a rainy Saturday
Do you ever miss me a little more
​
CHORUS
Time will fly through the darkest night
Tears will dry in the morning light
But I’m the same old fool I’m the same old fool
I’m the same old fool for you I’m the same old fool
​
VERSE 2
Can you tell me where we were
The last time you left me
I remember it well
Corner table French café
Said you couldn’t stay then you ran away
CHORUS
Time will fly through the darkest night
Tears will dry in the morning light
But I’m the same old fool I’m the same old fool
I’m the same old fool for you I’m the same old fool
​
BRIDGE
There’s thunder rolling in my heart tonight
Here comes the rain
​
VERSE 3
Someday you’ll be back again
But until then
I’ll be wondering when
Will we hold each other tight
Making everything all right
​
CHORUS
ABOUT THE SONG
Mark Paul Smith
Same Old Fool: A first kiss on a rainy Saturday reminds a woman why she keeps taking back a lover who rolls in and out of her life. She feels like a fool for hoping he’ll come back for good one day. The thunder of heartbreak turns into a rain of tears at night as she reminds herself, “Time will fly through the darkest night.”
