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
(Oh oh, 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
(Oh oh, 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
(Oh oh, 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
(Oh oh, 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 that someone else would play
Love's foolish game with me
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh huh
(Oh oh, poor little fool)
(I was a fool, oh yeah)
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh huh
(Oh oh, poor little fool)
(Poor little fool)
Poor Little Fool was written by Shari Sheeley.
