how could i be such a fool?

when i won your love

i was very glad

every happiness in the world

belonged to me

then our love was lost

and you went away

now i shed my tears

in lonely misery

i know now that you never ever

really loved me

it hurts me now to think you never ever

really cared

i sit and ask myself a thousand times

to try and find

what really happened

to the love

that we shared

how could i be such a fool

how could i believe

all those lies you told me

how could i be taken in

by your sweet face

you spoiled our love

you ruined my life

i'm so tore down

i'm a terrible disgrace

but there will come a time

and you'll regret the way

you treated me

as if i was a fool

and didn't know

the many times you lied

about your love for me

someone else is gonna know

that your love was just a show

how could i be such a fool

how could i believe

all those lies you told me

how could i be taken in

by your sweet face

you spoiled our love

you ruined my life

i'm so tore down

i'm a terrible disgrace

but there will come a time

and you'll regret the way

you treated me

as if i was a fool

and didn't know

the many times you lied

about your love for me

someone else is gonna know

that your love was just a show

how could i be such a fool?
