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
