Lyrics

  1. 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?

  1. 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
