Foolin' Myself Songtext
von Mose Allison

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!
