"What Kind of Fool"
is the title of a vocal duet from 1981 (see 1981 in music) by singers Barbra
Streisand and Barry Gibb. The song was written by Gibb and Albhy Galuten.
The songs on the Guilty album
were a collaboration between Streisand and all the members of the Bee Gees,
including Barry's brothers, Robin and Maurice Gibb. But Barry Gibb played the largest
role of the brothers on the album, co-writing and co-producing all of the
tracks, appearing on the album cover embracing Streisand, and singing two duets
with her. Co-producer Karl Richardson was quoted describing Barry Gibb's
contribution to this song: "He did the demo first. Barbra
sang to the demo, then he came back and replaced a couple of things after he
had heard what she was doing."
Released as the third single
from Streisand's 1980 album Guilty, "What Kind of Fool" was the third
consecutive top ten single from the album in the United States. "Woman in
Love" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the album's
title track(also a duet between the two singers) reached number three, both in
late 1980. "What
Kind of Fool" spent three weeks at number ten on the Hot 100 in March and
April 1981. It also spent four weeks atop the Billboard adult
contemporary chart.
There was a time when we were down
and out
There was a place when we were starting over
We let the bough break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now?
There was a world when we were standing still
And for a moment we were separated...
And then you found her
You let the stranger in
Who's sorry now?
Who's sorry now?
What , what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
Losing you now
Wonderin' why
Where will I be tomorrow?
Forever more that's what we are to be
Without each other
We'll be remembering when...
There was a time when we were down and out
We cried...
There was a place when we were starting over
We lied...
We let the bough break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now?
Who's sorry now?
What , what kind of fool
What , what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
Oh! Losing you now
How can I win?
Where will I be tomorrow?
Was there a moment when I cut you down?
Played around?
What have I done?!
I only apologize
For being, as they say, the last to know
It has to show
When someone is in your eyes...
What, what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
Losing you now
Wondering why
Where will I be tomorrow?
What, what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow?
Losing you now
How can I win
Where will I be tomorrow?
