(verse 1)
Driving back from God knows where
How'd you stay so long in Bloom ing ton?
Trying to find out what it is a bout him
(verse 2)
Then you find you're on your own
Trying to find a place to hang your coat
Can't you see that all your birds have flown away?
(refrão 1)
Yest er day's fool comes running back to you
Yest er day's fool is trying to play it cool
Dropping out of school, breaking all the rules
But who is fooling who?
(verse 3)
Patterns never seem to change
Same old heartache by a diffe rent name
You start out happy but when it all falls down again
(verse 4)
You can come and cry to me
But that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Tell me, when are you gonna fina lly see?
(refrão 2)
I'm yest er day's fool running back to you
Yest er day's fool trying to play it cool
Dropping out of school, breaking all the rules
But who is fooling who?
(outro)
Yest er day's fool comes running back to you
Yest er day's fool is trying to play it cool
Dropping out of school, breaking all the rules
But who is fooling, who is fooling?
