The song is based on a simple four-bar chord progression (E D C G A) that is repeated over and over - 19 times all in all. Only in the middle there is a short two-bar break. That's it.
The song came about because I fell in love with the guitar sound.

you've laid all our secrets bare
we're the topic of the day
just go to the market square
to listen what the people say
our weaknesses, our private life,
all our foibles, every fault -
public where the gossip’s rife
not a chance to call a halt
fool for one
fool for two
fool enough for me and you
fool for one
fool for two
why are you doing what you do
our kids - scorn of the class
while we’re the sneer of our town?
hear them snicker where we pass
did you intend to play their clown?
when I fell in love with you
I found you honest, upfront, frank
I'd no idea there'd be this risk
that I just might have drawn a blank
fool for one
fool for two
fool enough for me and you
fool for one
fool for two
why are you doing what you do
fool for one
fool for two
fool enough for me and you
fool for one
fool for two
make fools of our children, too
fool for one
fool for two
fool enough for me and you
fool for one
fool for two
why are you doing what you do
