[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh huh
(Oh oh, poor little fool)
(I was a fool, oh yeah)

[Verse 2]
She'd play around and teased me
With her carefree devil eyes
She'd hold me close and kiss me
But her heart was full of lies

[Chorus]
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh huh
(Oh oh, poor little fool)
(I was a fool, oh yeah)

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh huh
(Oh oh, poor little fool)
(I was a fool, oh yeah)

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh huh
(Oh oh, poor little fool)
(I was a fool, oh yeah)

[Verse 5]
Well, I played this game with other hearts
But I never thought I'd see
The day wjhen someone else would play
Love's foolish game with me

[Chorus]
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)
