an orthodox fool - diahann carroll lyrics

[barbara]
if i stood over there and looked my way
what a pitiful sight i’d see
stupid, stupider, stupidest—
this is the declension
of little declining me

i’m a self*educated idiot
i’m an orthodox fool
all i’m not i owe to myself
every discredit should go to myself
i knew my way but i lost it
the game was won but i tossed it
i knew the speech but i mumbled
i caught the ball but i fumbled

i’m a young victim of senility
i am destiny’s tool
i am lucky that the world has me alive in it
if the swimming pool is empty then i dive in it
with my tarnished golden rule
i am dumb, obtuse, absurd and blind
i’m an orthodox fool

should thеy have told me
love would comе to own me
healing and wounding me too?
n0body told me
no, not even you
n0body told me, i knew
i’m a clear picture of incompetence
who was fired from school
i put money in the market when it’s slowing up
i descend the escalator when it’s going up
like a slightly well*read mule
i am dull, benumbed and not quite bright
i’m an orthodox fool

a crazy, mixed*up, card*carrying dope
thick*headed, dimwitted, brain of soap
a self*educated idiot
i’m an orthodox fool! fool! fool!
