I tell myself I'm through with love,
That I'll have nothing more to do with love,
I stay away, but every day
I'm just foolin' myself.
I tell myself that I don't care,
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair,
But they all know it isn't so,
I'm just foolin' myself.
And ev'ry time I pass
And see his face in the looking glass,
I tip my hat and say "How do you do, you fool?
You're throwing your life away."
I'm acting gay, I'm acting proud,
And every time I see you in a crowd,
I just want to shout out loud
I'm just foolin' myself.
