I tell myself I'm through with love And I'll have nothing more to do with love I'd stay away, but every day I'm just foolin' myself I tell my friends that I don't care I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair But they all know it isn't so I'm just foolin myself And every time I pass And see myself in the looking glass I tip my hat and say How do you do, you fool? You're throwing your life away! I'm acting gay I'm acting proud And every time I see you in a crowd I may pretend But in the end I'm just foolin myself
