Fool that I am,
For falling in love with you
And, fool that I am,
For thinking you loved me, too

You took my heart,
Then played the part of little coquette
And, my dreams just disappeared
Like the smoke from a cigarette

Fool that I am,
For hoping you'd understand
And thinking you
Would listen, too,
And, oh, the things I had planned

But we couldn't see eye to eye
So, darling, darling, darling,
This is goodbye
But I still care, but I still care,
And oh, fool that I am
Oh, but I still care,
Fool that I am
