Fools go crazy
You break windows when you get mad
You go nowhere with Jack the Lad
You give Verbal to your old man
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down
You go runnin' when it's your round
You ain't funny, a clown's a clown
An' you won't kick me, no, when I'm down
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down
Chorus
(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
Don't you let me down
Your face don't fit, you're outta place
We're all washed-up in the Rat Race
You're all spaced-out, you're outta space
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down
Chorus
(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
Don't you let me down
I know that I … An' I don't know why
You break windows when you get mad
You give earache when things go bad
Don't give heartache to your old man
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down
Chorus
(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
Don't you let me down
Chorus
(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
I said don't you let me down
No, no, no, no … Oh, I don't know why
I'm actin' like a clown
I said don't you let me down … ooh
