Nickels and dimes
Memories and wines
She's on his mind
Once again
The same old stool
The same old fool
Played by the rules
But didn't win
There's an old love in his heart
That he can't lose
He tried forgetting
But he knows that it's no use
He's got a fool hearted memory
It won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
And he sits patiently
Here every night
So it can fool him more
She was his girl
His only whirl
That string of pearls
That slipped away
A thousand dimes
A thousand times
He doesn't mind
What they say
He fills the jukebox
Then plays the same old song
He fills his glass
And then he turns her memory on
But it's a fool hearted memory
It won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
And he sits patiently
Here every night
So it can fool him more
He's got a fool hearted memory
It won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
And he sits patiently
Here every night
So it can fool him more
