Nickels and dimes, memories and wines - she's on his mind once
again.
The same old stool, the same old fool; played by the rules, but

didn't win.
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose.
He tried forgettin', but he knows that it's no use.


[Chorus:]
He's got a fool hearted memory.

It won't let him see that she walked out the door.
He's got a fool hearted memory,
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him

more.

She was his girl, his only whirl, that string of pearls that

slipped away.
A thousand dimes, a thousand times - he doesn't mind what they
say.

He fills the jukebox, and plays the same old song.
He fills his glass, and then he turns her memory on.


[Chorus:]
But it's a fool hearted memory.
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.

He's got a fool hearted memory.
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him
more.


He's got a fool hearted memory.
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.

He's got a fool hearted memory.
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.
