INTRO Here I sit a nobody with no-one, Bein' me ain't really all that fun. Leavin' her wasn't very smart, Admittin' I was wrong wouldn't be so hard. If it was cool to be a fool, I'd be the hippest guy around. If a heartache made you famous, I'd be known from town to town. If tears were made of pennies, And a cold beer brought her back. My bank account and self esteem, Would both be in the black. If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad, About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had... Hey, I could be a star, If it was cool to be a fool. But we all know the way it really is, You don't get recognized for doin' things like this. You spend a lotta time feelin' sorry for yourself, It doesn't really mean that much to anybody else. If it was cool to be a fool, I'd be the hippest guy around.
