|
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
|
|
A tear fell when I saw you in the arms of someone new
|
A tear fell when you left me all alone and feeling blue
|
A tear fell when you told me that your love was not for me
|
Oh, I didn't miss the teardrops but I missed you constantly
|
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
|
|
The teardrops that you stepped on as you danced across the floor
|
Were crushed like my poor heart was when you walked out of the door
|
A tear fell when you told me that the flame in your heart died
|
Darlin', have I lost you like these teardrops from my eyes?
|
A fool am I, a fool am I in love
|
|
A tear fell when you told me that your love was not for me
|
Oh, I didn't miss the teardrops but I missed you constantly
|
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
