Get Yourself Another Fool

Lyrics

At last I've awakened to see what you've done

All I can do is pack up and run

Now I know the rules

Find yourself another fool

You said that you loved me

I was yours to command

Your kind of loving

My heart couldn't stand

You played me for a fool

Find yourself another fool

And now, now that we're through

You say you wished you'd been true

Oh, but deep down in my heart I know

Our love could never grow

And now, now that we're through

You say you wish you'd been true

Oh, but deep down in my heart I know

Our love will never grow

At last I've awakened to see what you've done

All I can do is pack up and run

Now I know the rules

Find yourself another fool

Now I know the rules

Find yourself another fool
