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..
Well I've 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
