I'm goin' round in circles, acting like a fool,
I've played the game of love,

And I don't even know the rules.
I gave my heart to someone,
She broke it, just today.

An' I'm gonna lose a lot of teardrops this way.
I suppose I should be careful but how was I to know?
She looked so sweet and innocent,

But that's the way it goes.
It happens to the best of us,
At least, that's what they say.

But I'm gonna lose a lot of teardrops this way.
Somethin' sure had better change,
But what am I to do?

Surely there's someone around,
Who needs a love that's true.
But I guess I'll keep on searchin',

But one thing I can say:
I'm gonna lose a lot of teardrops this way.
Instrumental break.

Somethin' sure had better change,
But what am I to do?
Surely there's someone around,

Who needs a love that's true.
But I guess I'll keep on searchin',
But one thing I can say:

I'm gonna lose a lot of teardrops this way.
