  G               Em              Am            D7
I used to play around with hearts hasten to my call,
  G              Em             Am                D7
When I met that little girl, I knew that I would fall


             G        Em   Am          D7       G 
Poor little fool, oh yeah,    I was a fool, uh uh
         Em              Am                 D7     
(Uh uh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah)


     G                 Em               Am             D7
She played around and teased me, with a carefree devil eye
     G                   Em                 Am                D7
She pulled me close and kissed me, but her heart was full of lies


             G        Em   Am          D7       G 
Poor little fool, oh yeah,    I was a fool, uh uh
         Em              Am                 D7     
(Uh uh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah)


     G               Em                 Am              D7
She told me that she cared for me, and that we'd never part
    G            Em           Am            D7
So for the very first time, I gave away my heart


             G        Em   Am          D7       G 
Poor little fool, oh yeah,    I was a fool, uh uh
         Em              Am                 D7     
(Uh uh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah)


 G               Em           Am              D7
Next day she was gone and I, knew she lied to me 
      G            Em            Am           D7
She left me with a broken heart, won her victory


             G        Em   Am          D7       G 
Poor little fool, oh yeah,    I was a fool, uh uh
         Em              Am                 D7     
(Uh uh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah)


    G                   Em               Am                    D7
I played this game with other hearts, but I never thought I'd see
     G               Em                      Am               D7
The day when someone else would play love's foolish game with me


             G        Em   Am          D7       G 
Poor little fool, oh yeah,    I was a fool, uh uh
         Em              Am                 D7    G 
(Uh uh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah)
