Lyrics:

(Dorian Burton and Eugene Randolph)


A fool am I, a fool am I, in love



A tear fell when I saw you

In the arms of someone new

A tear fell when you left me

All alone and feeling blue

A tear fell when you told me

That your love was not for me

I didn't miss the teardrops

But I missed you constantly

A fool am I, a fool am I, in love



The teardrops that you stepped on

As you danced across the floor

Were crushed like my poor heart was

When you walked out of my door

A tear fell when you told me

That the flame in your heart died

Darlin', have I lost you

Like these teardrops from my eyes

A fool am I, a fool am I, in love



[Instrumental Interlude]



A tear fell when you told me

That your love was not for me

I didn't miss the teardrops

But I missed you constantly

A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
