Lyrics
- There was a time when you fooled ev’ryone
And you fooled me, too
You made me cry and tho’t it was in fun
My heart was a plaything for you
You let the sweetness of love go to waste
Now how does the bitter taste
Chorus
Who did you fool after all, dear?
Who did you fool after all?
The kisses you gave just made me your slave
I looked in your eyes, believed all your lies
Tables have changed and fate has arranged
That somebody else made you fall
So who’s sighing now
Tell me who’s crying now?
Who did you fool, after all?
- It seems a shame that you could not play fair
For I loved you true
I know that someone else has made you care
And maybe they’re fooling you too
If you were thinking of some future day
Our lives would not be this way
