Intro: G Em Am D7

G Em Am D7
oooooooooooou

Verse 1

G Em
I used to play around with hearts
Am D7
Hasten to my call,
G Em
When I met that little girl,
Am D7
I knew that I would fall


Chorus:

G Em
Poor little fool, Oh yea,
Am D7 G
I was a fool, Uh huh

(Uh huh, poor little fool,I was a fool, oh yea)


Verse 2

She played around and teased me,
With a carefree devil eye
She pulled me close and kissed me,
But her heart was full of lies


Repeat Chorus


Verse 3

She told me that she cared for me,
And that we'd never part
So for the very first time,
I gave away my heart


Repeat Chorus


Verse 4

Next day she was gone and I,
Knew she lied to me
She left me with a broken heart,
Won her victory


Repeat Chorus


Verse 5

I 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


Repeat Chorus
