Ricky Nelson - Poor Little Fool lyrics

rate me

(Sharon Sheely)

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

(Uh huh, poor little fool

I was your 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

(Uh huh, poor little fool

I was your 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

(Uh huh, poor little fool

I was your 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

(Uh huh, poor little fool

I was your 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

(Uh huh, poor little fool

I was your fool, oh yeah...)
