I'm a fool to fool around with you
But I do like most fools do
I take my chance
With the wrong romance
I'm a fool to fool around with you
Now if you were mine
Everything would be fine
But another changed your name
You say you love me
Yet you'll never be free
So we play a losing game
Here's what I should do
Find somebody new
Claim you as only my friend
But when you walk by
With that gleam in your eye
Sweetheart, I'm in a mood to pretend
I'm a fool to fool around with you
I'm playing with fire, it's true
I'm bound to get burned
I guess I never will learn
I'm a fool to fool around with you
Now if you were mine
Everything would be fine
But another changed your name
You say you love me
Yet you'll never be free
So we play a losing game
Here's what I should do
Find somebody new
Claim you as only my friend
But when you walk by
With that gleam in your eye
Sweetheart, I'm in a mood to pretend
I'm a fool to fool around with you
I'm playing with fire, it's true
I'm bound to get burned
I guess I never will learn
I'm a fool to fool around with you
