Fool Hearted Memory

Nickels and dimes

Memories and wine

She's on his mind once again

The same old stool

The same old fool

Played by the rules but didn't win

There's an old love in his heart, that he can't lose

He'd try forgettin', but he knows that it's no use

He's got a fool hearted memory

It won't let him see

That she walked out the door

He's got a fool hearted memory

And he sits patiently

Here every night so it can fool him more

♪

She was his girl

His only world

That string of pearls, that slipped away

A thousand dimes

A thousand times

He doesn't mind, what they say

He fills the jukebox, then plays the same old song

He fills his glass, and then he turns her memory on

But it's a fool hearted memory

It won't let him see

That she walked out the door

He's got a fool hearted memory

And he sits patiently

Here every night so it can fool him more

He's got a fool hearted memory

♪

It won't let him see

That she walked out the door

He's got a fool hearted memory

And he sits patiently

Here every night so it can fool him more
