A Fool And His Heart

(album: High On The Hog - 2002)

His heart's been through the ringer a time or two
Poor boy, I guess he never knew
What'll happen if you close your eyes
And let your heart go to loving blind
Fool him once, oh now shame on you
Fool him twice, well I guess he should've knew
I guess his heart was born to burn
I think some fools never learn

[Chorus]
A fool and his heart
How soon they part
He just can't hold on to it for very long
He's the first one to fall
Now he can't help himself at all
Separated from the start
That old fool and his heart

The poor boy's been hurt so many times
Goes and lays his heart out on the line
The stakes are high he's a gambling man
He'll roll the dice, he'll take the chance
When the chips down he'll never make the score
Always seems to keep coming back for more
I guess his heart was born to burn
I think some fools never learn

[Chorus 2x]
