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...
(What poor, 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...
(What poor, 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...
(What poor, 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...
(What poor, 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 when someone else would play love's foolish game with me.

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

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