Just like a fool I asked him if he'd go with us tonight

And like a fool I let him dance with you and hold you tight

I knew if you'd be thrilled by all those whispered things you've heard

But like a fool I never said a word



Just like a fool I smiled and told him you would be my bride

But something didn't feel just right a way down deep inside

I sat there helplessly as someone tore my world apart

And like a fool I watched him win your heart

[ steel ]

Just like a fool I listened as you both told me goodbye

And like a fool I couldn't help the teardrops in my eyes

There wasn't anything to do or anything to say

So like a fool I watched you walk away



There wasn't anything to do or anything to say

So like a fool I watched you walk away
