I tell myself I'm through with you
That I'll have nothing more to do with you
I stay away, but every day
I'm just foolin' myself

I tell my friends that I don't care
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair
But they all know it isn't so
I'm foolin' myself

And every time I pass
And see my face in the looking glass
I tip my hat and say
"How do you do, you fool?"
You're throwing your life away
I'm acting gay, I'm acting proud

And every time I see you in a crowd
I may pretend but in the end
I'm foolin' myself

I'm acting gay, I'm acting proud
And every time I see you in a crowd
I may pretend but in the end
I'm just foolin', I'm just foolin' myself
