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)
