Foolin' Myself

Mose Allison · Your Mind Is On Vacation [2008]

I tell myself I'm through with love,

And I'll have nothing more to do with love;

I 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 turn and see myself in the looking glass,

I tip my hat and say,

"How do you do you fool? you're throwin' 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!
