poor little fool

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 played around and teased me

with her carefree 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'd 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

i'd played this game with other hearts

but i never thought i'd see

the day that someone else would play

love's foolish game with me

poor little fool

oh yeah

i was a fool

uh huh
