This is the first version of a Frank Zappa song that would go on to appear on another album, December 1968’s Cruising with Ruben & the Jets. Whereas the later recording is sung in a falsetto with more powerful drums, fitting with the concept of that album as a take on doo-wop, this recording is...
[Verse 1]
When I won your love, I was very glad
Every happiness in the world belonged to me
Then our love was lost and you went away
Now I shed my tears in lonely misery
[Verse 2]
I know now that you never ever really loved me
It hurts me now to think you never ever really cared
I sit and ask myself a thousand times to try and find
What really happened to the love that we shared
[Chorus]
How could I be such a fool?
How could I believe all those lies you told me?
How could I be taken in by your sweet face?
[Post-Chorus]
You spoiled our love, you ruined my life
I'm so tore down, I'm a terrible disgrace
[Verse 3]
But there will come a time and you'll regret the way
You treated me as if I was a fool and didn't know
The many times you lied about your love for me
Someone else is gonna know that your love was just a show
[Outro]
How could I be such a fool?
