After I've had my last cigarette
When the night is as black
As the nights goin' to get
Well I'm still wild awake
Cause I still can't forget
I was a fool, to let you go
And after I've close the bar with the boys
Though I can't stand the drinks
And I can't stand the noise
When I know I'll be back
Cause their's no other choice
I know I was a fool, to let you go
I was a fool, to think that I could sleep a wink
In this big and deep bed by myself
And I was a fool to wate ,until it was to late
To tell you just how I felt
And after I've been with somebody new
And she know's what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost
And I know it's so true
No I was a fool, to let you go
And after I've been with somebody new
And she knows what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost
And I know it's so true
When I seen what It caused
And what I'm going through
I know I was a fool
I was a fool to let you go
