I Played The Fool

Why try to hurt me? I've been fair to you

You could have told me that our affair was through

You played the game but darling, I played the fool

Why did you leave me after all we'd planned?

Don't try to tell me, I'll never understand

You played the game but darling, I played the fool

I'll drink a toast to a memory

I chase it down with a tear

I'll wash away that memory

It's my only souvenir

Why did you leave me? Everybody knows

Friends tried to tell me, that's the way it goes

You played the game but darling, I played the fool

I'll drink a toast to a memory

I chase it down with a tear

I'll wash away that memory

It's my only souvenir

Why did you leave me? Everybody knows

Friends tried to tell me, that's the way it goes

You played the game but darling, I played the fool
