Not everyone thinks that I'm beautiful.
Only just a special few,
Headed up by fools like you.
It takes one to know one oo..you lucky fools!

Not everything works like I hoped it would.
Just when I start wantin' to stay,
I see it's time that I was on my way.
Tomorrow gone, here today, dear lucky fools!

Well I don't have a fortune to give.
All I have is left over dreams that are far out of fashion.
Once I wore my heart on my sleeve.
Now I try and not call attention to things that I treasure.
Cuz I found out, not everyone thinks what I think is beautiful.

So when I see you see it too,
I think we might just make it me and you.
So here's to the tried and true,
Dear lucky fools, oh lucky fools.
Dear lucky fools
