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..
