Ricky Nelson – Poor Little Fool – 1958

Lyrics

 

(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, whoa, whoa)

(Verse 2)
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

(Chorus)
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh huh
(Oh, whoa, whoa)

(Bridge)
She told me how she cared for me and that we’d never part
The next day she was gone and I knew she’d lied to me

(Verse 3)
Well I’d played this game with other hearts but I never thought I’d see
The day when someone else would play love’s foolish game with me

(Chorus)
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh huh
(Oh, whoa, whoa)
(Fade out)
