Song title: I played the fool

(Steven Van Zandt) Midnight Music

I played the fool

Like the child who's soul's aflame that loves to burn
I'm just the kind of guy who never learns
I guess you had to go
Why was I the last to know

I played the fool girl
I did just what you expected
I played the fool
And you're making it so hard to leave this time

I see so much when I look in your eyes
I just can't help myself - I'm hypnotized
It's my turn to walk away
But baby I'll be back someday

I played the fool girl
I did just what you expected
I played the fool
And you're making it so hard to leave this time

It's my turn to walk away
But baby I'll be back someday
I played the fool girl
I did just what you expected

I played the fool
And you're making it so hard to leave this time
