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
 
 (Chorus)
 Poor little fool, oh yeah
 I was a fool, uh huh...
 Uh huh, 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
 
 (Chorus)
 Poor little fool, oh yeah
 I was a fool, uh huh...
 Uh huh, 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
 
 (Chorus)
 Poor little fool, oh yeah
 I was a fool, uh huh...
 Uh huh, 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
 
 (Chorus)
 Poor little fool, oh yeah
 I was a fool, uh huh...
 Uh huh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah
 
 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
 
 (Chorus)
 Poor little fool, oh yeah
 I was a fool, uh huh...
 Uh huh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah
