Lyrics Ricky Nelson

Ricky Nelson

Poor Little Fool

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

Poor little fool, oh yeah

I was a fool, uh huh

[(Oh oh, poor little fool)(I was a fool, oh yeah)]

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

Poor little fool, oh yeah

I was a fool, uh huh

[(Oh oh, poor little fool)(I was a fool, oh yeah)]

She told me how she cared for me

And that we'd never part

And so for the very first time

I gave away my heart

Poor little fool, oh yeah

I was a fool, uh huh

[(Oh oh, poor little fool)(I was a fool, oh yeah)]

The next day she was gone

And I knew she'd lied to me

She left me with a broken heart

And won her victory

Poor little fool, oh yeah

I was a fool, uh huh

[(Oh oh, poor little fool)(I was a fool, oh yeah)]

Well, I'd played this game with other hearts

But I never thought I'd see

The day that someone else would play

Love's foolish game with me

Poor little fool, oh yeah

I was a fool, uh huh

[(Oh oh, poor little fool)(I was a fool, oh yeah)]

Poor little fool, oh yeah

I was a fool, uh huh

[(Oh oh, poor little fool)(Poor little fool)]
