He sits on a park bench
And stares into space
Thinking of his bright future
That has now been erased
He once loved a woman
Whose love wasn't true
Now all that remains
Is a born-again fool

Mistakes, he's made many
In his passage of life
But she was the first wrong
He couldn't make right
She left him no reason
She left no excuse
All she left was the shell
Of a born-again fool

Believin' that her love
Would be his salvation
But faith in her heart
Proved to be his damnation
Another false idol
Another heart torn in two
Oh, there's no one as lost
As a born-again fool

Well, he gave all she asked for
She took all he had
She made him her puppet
With no strings attached
He did all she wanted
But he never knew
She was only creatin'
A born-again fool

Believin' that her love
Would be his salvation
But faith in her heart
Proved to be his damnation
Another false idol
Another heart torn in two
Oh, there's no one as lost
As a born-again fool

He sits on a park bench
Still wondering why
As the whole world, unnoticing
Passes him by
Such a forlorn conclusion
That his life led him to
Betrayed and deceived
He's a born-again fool
