Foolin' Myself Songtext
von Billie Holiday with Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra

I tell myself, "I′m through with love
And I'll have nothing more to do with love"
I stay away
But every day
I′m just foolin' myself


I tell my friends 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 every time I turn
And see myself in the looking glass
I tip my hat and say
"How do you do, you fool?
You′re throwin' your life away!"


I′m acting gay, I'm acting proud
And every time I see you in a crowd
I may pretend
But in the end
I′m just foolin' myself
