Poor Little Fool

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..
