FOOL ME ONCE
(Bill Anderson / Moneen Carpenter)


Connie Hall - 1962


Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me

You broke my heart and told me lies
And everybody sympathized
With the fool who loved you so much she was blind
But when I took you back once more
And you hurt me like you did before
The only sympathy I got was mine

Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me

(Instrumental Break)

Shame on me for giving in
And taking your love back again
I should have gone and found somebody else
How big a fool can one girl be
For once you made a fool of me
And now I've made a fool out of myself

Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
