Poor Little Fool
Ike And Tina Turner · Other Songs - Ike And Tina Turner
That hastened at my call,
But when I met that little girl
I knew that I would fall.
Poor little fool, oh yeah,
I was a fool, uh huh
She played around and teased me
With her carefree devil eyes,
She'd hold me close and kiss me
But her heart was full of lies.
Poor little fool, oh yeah,
I was a fool, uh huh
She told me how she cared for me
And that we'd never part,
And so for the very first time
I gave away my heart.
Poor little fool, oh yeah,
I was a fool, uh huh
The next day she was gone
And I knew she'd lied to me,
She left me with a broken heart
And won her victory.
Poor little fool, oh yeah,
I was a fool, uh huh
I'd played this game with other hearts
But I never thought I'd see,
The day that someone else would play
Love's foolish game with me.
Poor little fool, oh yeah,
I was a fool, uh huh
