What Kind Of Fool Lyrics
Both
There was a time when we were down and out
There was a place when we were starting over
We let the bough break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
Barbra
There was a world when we were standing still
And for a moment we were separated
And then you found her
You let the stranger in
Together
Who's sorry now
Barbra
Who's sorry now
What , what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Barry
Losing you now
Wonderin’ why
Where will I be tomorrow
Chorus
Forever more that’s what we are to be
Without each other
We’ll be remembering when...
Both
There was a time when we were down and out
(We cried)
There was a place when we were starting over
(We lied)
We let the bough break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
Barbra
What , what kind of fool
Barry
What , what kind of fool
Barbra
Tears it apart
Barry
Tears it apart
Barbra
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Barry
Oh! Losing you now
How can I win
Where will I be tomorrow
Barbra
Was there a moment when I cut you down
Played around
What have I done
I only apologize
For being as they say, the last to know
It has to show
When someone is in your eyes
Both
What, what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Losing you now
Wondering why
Where will I be tomorrow
What, what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Losing you now
How can I win
Where will I be tomorrow
There was a time when we were down and out
There was a place when we were starting over
We let the bough break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
There was a world when we were standing still
And for a moment we were separated
And then you found her
You let the stranger in
Together
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
What , what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Losing you now
Wonderin’ why
Where will I be tomorrow
Forever more that’s what we are to be
Without each other
We’ll be remembering when...
There was a time when we were down and out
(We cried)
There was a place when we were starting over
(We lied)
We let the bough break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
What , what kind of fool
What , what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Oh! Losing you now
How can I win
Where will I be tomorrow
Was there a moment when I cut you down
Played around
What have I done
I only apologize
For being as they say, the last to know
It has to show
When someone is in your eyes
What, what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Losing you now
Wondering why
Where will I be tomorrow
What, what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Losing you now
How can I win
Where will I be tomorrow

A very sad song describing the heartbreak of a couple going through a painful breakup. The woman’s demand for answers to whether she had done anything wrong was the highlight of the song/story. Very touching. The listeners can FEEL the pain and sorrow. Brings tears to my eyes.
Aren't the beautiful lyrics the story of what happens in some- maybe more than some- relationships and marriages where the commitment and partnership is so strong at the beginning but perhaps slowly over time hits the rocky shoals and the bonded past is severed with so much heartbreak and trauma for both parties -and really, so many others caught in the crossfire? This is a story seldom brought to the clear light of day but is fought quietly, valiantly and painfully in the courts and in the lonely bedrooms and apartments of the abandoned.
