Harry Chapin - Poor Damn Fool video free download

"You're a livin' walkin' dream

You're the best I've ever seen,

Oh God I wanted you.

I've often dreamed what I would do,

If I could give myself to you,

Oh God I wanted to.

But up 'til now you've not been free to be

Foolin' around with the likes of me.

But it's changed now, though it's strange how,

He's the one that arranged it now.

But he's a poor damned fool

'Cause he went and let you go now.

Just a poor damned fool.

He never will know now.

Maybe someday he'll be sad.

I say that that's too bad,

He never knew how much he had.

I'm glad I got you now.

Yes I've had my ups and downs

As I've been ramblin' around

And I'll be candid.

I could not believe my eyes

When I finally realized

Just what that man did.

Yes I've heard 'bout finders keepers

And how losers are the weepers, it's OK,

I know it's my lucky day

Still I just got to say . . .

That he's a poor damned fool

'Cause he went and let you go now.

Just a poor damned fool.

He never will know now.

Maybe someday he'll be sad.

I say that that's too bad,

He never knew how much he had.

I'm glad I got you now.

Oh how I'd love to hear you say

You're glad that it worked out this way

And you'll forget about yesterday

'Cause you feel so good.

It's worked out real good.

You make me feel so good.

I've been tryin' to find a way to cope

With grasping straws And fallen hopes.

But he's made a way

And now his misfortune is my gain.

Though for now it gives you pain

It'll fade away

And you'll find that as the years roll by

The memories of the time you cried

Will be laid away

Yes, they'll fade away

And you'll forget that poor damned fool

'Cause he went and let you go now.

Just a poor damned fool.

He never will know now.

Maybe someday he'll be sad.

I say that that's too bad

He never knew how much he had.

I'm glad I got you now.

He was a poor damn fool. "
