I used
to play around
with hearts who would hasten at my call
When I met that lonely guy,
I knew that I would fall
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a pearl, uh -huh
I was a pearl, yeah
He'd play around and tease me
With his carefree devil eyes
He'd hold me close and kiss me
But his heart was full of lies
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh -huh, uh -huh,
fool -a -loo, I was a fool, oh yeah
He told me how he cared for me,
that we'd never part
And so for the very first time,
I gave away my heart, poor little fool, oh yeah
Oh I was a fool, uh -huh
Poor little fool,
I was a fool, oh yeah
The next day he was gone
And I knew he'd lied to me
He left me with a broken heart
And won his victory
Poor little fool, oh yeah
Poor was a fool, uh -huh
Uh -huh, poor little fool,
I was a fool, oh yeah
Well, I played this game with other hearts
I never thought I'd see
The day when someone
else would play
Love's foolish game with me
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh -huh
Poor little fool,
I was a fool, oh yeah
Poor little fool,
oh yeah I was a fool, uh -huh
Poor little fool, little fool
