 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..
