I'm a fool to care, when you treat me this way
A7 D
I know I love you, but what can I do, I'm a fool to care
A7 D E7
I'm a fool to cry, when you tell me good- -bye
A7 D G D
You left me so blue, when you were untrue, I'm a fool to care

I know I should laugh and call it a day
E7 A7
But I know I would cry, if you go away
D E7
I'm a fool to care, when you don't care for me

Why should I pretend, I'd lose in the end, I'm a fool to care
