There was never any doubt how I felt for her
It used to be clear, but now it's a blur
She tore every tear out of my eyes
She ripped every sunbeam out of my skies
I didn't want to be the last man in town
the empty vessel with the loudest sound
but little by little, then in leaps and bounds
I used to be a fool,
now I'm a clown
She's the Rolls Royce of women, the Gucci of her kind
The best mind bender any boy can find
Now she's independant and I cry in my drink
I stare at the bottle, I swear I saw it wink
I didn't want to be the last man in town
the empty vessel with the loudest sound
but little by little, then in leaps and bounds
I used to be a fool,
now I'm a clown
Now I have nothing but a memory
And the bottle's even taken that away from me
I am innocent of crime, and I'm useless alone
Women and drink have turned this heart to stone
I didn't want to be the last man in town
the empty vessel with the loudest sound
I didn't want to be the last man in town
the empty vessel with the loudest sound
but little by little, then in leaps and bounds
I used to be a fool
now I'm a clown
now I'm a clown
now I'm a clown
