i'm only foolin' myself

woo-hoo. i don't trust my memory anymore

can't tell if things are better than they were before

but this heart of mine is ready to believe

the long lost lover comes back home

and the life long friend can't stand being alone

until the morning comes and you have to leave

than i see you on the street

holding on to someone else who even looks like me

it seems like

i'm only fooling myself

i'm playing games with my heart and soul

i know that fooling myself

it can be dangerous if i lose control

i'm only fooling myself

i'm playing games with my heart and soul

everybody knows fooling yourself

can be dangerous when you lose control

then you've only got yourself to blame

well

when you asked if i could take you in

it was harder than it should have been

cause you were always such good company

and last night you wanted me to stay

but this morning you just slipped away

without saying goodbye

maybe you were just a dream

ooh

well i'm easy when it comes to being kind

and sure i need a little bit of love on the side

but when the truth begins to hurt

it gets too hard to hide

i'm only fooling myself

i'm playing games with my heart and soul

i know that fooling myself

can be dangerous if i lose myself

i know i'm fooling myself

i'm playing games with my heart and soul

it can be dangerous

very dangerous

yeah

listen

if i use sleight of hand

to make you reappear

still i can't be sure

what is and isn't there

i'm only fooling myself

i'm playing games

with my heart and soul

everybody knows fooling yourself

can be dangerous if you lose control

i'm only fooling myself

i'm playing games with my heart and soul

i know that fooling myself

can be dangerous

yeah

i'm only fooling myself

with my heart and soul

it can be dangerous

if i lose control
