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
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
Hey, i could be a star
if it was cool to be a fool
