FOOLING ME

(Devine, Van Dyke)


As recorded by:
Zonophone Studio Orchestra Dir. John Firman
V. Maurice Elwin
Recorded 16th April 1929



What is the use of saying you're mine
When you know you've never been true to me
Why let me dream, why be so mean
When all of the while you've been fooling me

Fooling me because you'd nothing else to do
Fooling me, that's why I'm feeling oh so blue
Fooling me, and yet you knew I loved you
But some day you'll miss me, even long to kiss me
Fooling me while I grew fonder every day
Thinking dear that you were caring too
You want me to forget, you're sorry now we met
You've been fooling me, just fooling all the time.

S'pose you've nothing else to do

Guess you're glad you've made me blue

And yet you knew I loved you
But some day you'll miss me, yes, even long to kiss me
Fooling me while I grew fonder every day
Thinking dear that you were caring too
You want me to forget, you're sorry now we met
You've been fooling me, just fooling all the time.
