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
oh oh poor little fool
i was a fool oh yeah
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
oh oh poor little fool
i was a fool oh yeah
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
oh oh poor little fool
i was a fool oh yeah
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
oh oh poor little fool
i was a fool oh yeah
well 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
oh oh poor little fool
i was a fool oh yeah
poor little fool oh yeah
i was a fool uh huh
oh oh poor little fool
poor little fool
