Fooling Yourself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you fooling, fooling yourself
Are you fooling, fooling yourself
Are you fooling, fooling yourself
Are you fooling, fooling yourself
To think I was a fool and I've been beaten
A thought like that just kinda cramps my style
But I'll get you someday for all your cheating
From my face you're gonna see a smile
You should have never told that you loved me
You knew I'd start believing it someday
Now you say you're leaving me for lonely
Someone else is gonna come my way
You better take some time and think of what you're doing
Before you throw away this harmony
I don't think you know just who's been losing
Cos you've been fooling yourself
When you think you're fooling me
I'm the kind of girl who don't mind crying
But I ain't gonna shed a tear for you
Best you change your ways and stop your lying
I'm gonna change my mind about loving you
You should have never told me that you loved me
You knew I'd start believing it someday
But now you say you're leaving me for lonely
Someone else is gonna come my way
You better take some time and think of what you're doing
Before you throw away this harmony
You still don't realise just who's been losing
Cos you've been fooling yourself
Ah! You think you're fooling me
Are fooling yourself, fooling yourself
Are you fooling, fooling yourself
Are you fooling, fooling yourself
Are you fooling, fooling yourself
Are you fooling, fooling yourself…
