Intro:
oooooooooooou
Verse 1
I used to play around with hearts
Hasten to my call,
When I met that little girl,
I knew that I would fall
Chorus:
Poor little fool, Oh yea,
I was a fool, Uh huh
(Uh huh, poor little fool,I was a fool, oh yea)
Verse 2
She played around and teased me,
With a carefree devil eye
She pulled me close and kissed me,
But her heart was full of lies
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
She told me that she cared for me,
And that we'd never part
So for the very first time,
I gave away my heart
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4
Next day she was gone and I,
Knew she lied to me
She left me with a broken heart,
Won her victory
Repeat Chorus
Verse 5
I 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
Repeat Chorus
