Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you. Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too. Well, the first time that I saw you, you looked so doggone sweet When you walked down the street, I said 'There goes my meat.' [Needless to say, Kay Starr's version didn't have this line.] Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too. I can't forget you darlin', though I'm left out in the cold. I guess I still love you, and will always feel the same. [I know it doesn't rhyme!] Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too.
