Just like a fool I asked him if he'd go with us tonight
And like a fool I let him dance with you and hold you tight
I knew if you'd be thrilled by all those whispered things you've heard
But like a fool I never said a word

Just like a fool I smiled and told him you would be my bride
But something didn't feel just right a way down deep inside
I sat there helplessly as someone tore my world apart
And like a fool I watched him win your heart
[ steel ]
Just like a fool I listened as you both told me goodbye
And like a fool I couldn't help the teardrops in my eyes
There wasn't anything to do or anything to say
So like a fool I watched you walk away

There wasn't anything to do or anything to say
So like a fool I watched you walk away
