I used to play around

with hearts that

hastened at my call

But when I met

that little girl

I knew that I would fall

poor little fool, Oh Yeah

I was a fool, uh-huh

She'd play around

and tease me with her

care-free devil eyes

She'd hold me close

and kiss me

but her heart

was full of lies

poor little fool, Oh Yeah

I was a fool, uh-huh

She told me how

she cared for me

and that we'd never part

And so for

the very first time

I gave away my heart

poor little fool, Oh Yeah

I was a fool, uh-huh

The next day

she was gone and I

knew she lied to me

She left me

with a broken heart

and won her victory

poor little fool, Oh Yeah

I was a fool, uh-huh

Well, I've played this game

with other hearts

but I never thought I'd see

The day when someone else

would play love's

foolish game with me

poor little fool, Oh Yeah

I was a fool, uh-huh

Poor little fool, Oh Yeah

I was a fool, uh-huh
