Famous Last Words of a Fool in Love - Rodney Crowell

Take my coat, take my hat

Take my breath away just like that!

Turn the tables on me, paint new labels on me

Winding the clock back nice and slow

Make me laugh till I weep

Make me lonesome for you in my sleep

Is this lover lust?

Bottom tear or rubber crust?

We''ll find out soon enough, we know

Younger woman, older man

Why can’t we make this work?

Don’t you know we can?

Famous last words of a fool in love

I’ve been out of touch so long

Been going at it hammer and tongs

Sure that I can 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 drill

Or the magic in the little blue pill

Is how do you feel with your hopes up high

I might have been a handsome lad

Back when I didn’t look so mad

And this is what a fine, amazing

You and I could go out blazing things
