Lyrics

Am I fool number one or am I fool number two

How many other girls have been fooled by you

I suppose that the number is far from being small

And I'll bet that I'm the biggest fool of all


If I had the chance I guess I'd do it all again

I'd go down that same old road even knowing at the end

You'll leave me when your heart hears a new love call

So I'll guess that I'm the biggest fool of all

Am I fool number one or am I fool number two

How many other girls have been fooled by you

I suppose that the number is far from being small

And I'll guess that I'm the biggest fool of all
