I Made a Fool of Myself

Faron Young · Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight: Hi-Tone Poppa [Bea [2006]

(Faron Young - Donnie Young)

I made a fool of myself last night

Now someone new is holdin' her tight

But there's no one, no one

To blame but myself that you left and I'm alone.

In anger eyes full words of shame

Now all my lovin' you is in vain

But there's no one, no one

To blame nut myself that you left and I'm alone.

We were out on the town havin' a ball

So you looked at someone else and that's what started it all

Oh, jealousy caused me, my blue

I should have known that you'd never be untrue.

But there's no one, no one

To blame but myself that you left and I'm alone.

We were out on the town havin' a ball

So you looked at someone else and that's what started it all

Oh, jealousy caused me, my blue

I should have known that you'd never be untrue.

But there's no one, no one

To blame but myself that you left and I'm alone.

And I'm alone...
