a fool and his heart

his heart's been through the ringer a time or two

poor boy

i guess he never knew

what'll happen if you close your eyes

and let your heart go to lovin' blind

fool him once

oh now shame on you

fool him twice

well i guess he should've knew

i guess his heart was born to burn

i think some fools never learn

a fool and his heart

how soon they part

he just can't hold on to it for very long

he's the first one to fall

now he can't help himself at all

separated from the start

that old fool and his heart

the poor boy's been hurt so many times

goes and lays his heart out on the line

the stakes are high he's a gamblin' man

he'll roll the dice

he'll take the chance

when the chips down he'll never make the score

always seems to keep coming back for more

i guess his heart was born to burn

i think some fools never learn
