As recorded by TED DAFFAN & CHUCK KEESHAN:

I'm a fool to care
When you treat me this way
I love you so
But, darling, I know
I'm a fool to care

I'm a fool to cry
When you tell me goodbye
Why should I pretend
That our love can't end
I'm a fool to care

I know I should laugh
And call it a day
But I know I would cry
If you went away

I'm a fool to care
When you don't care for me
You just can't be true
But what can I do
I'm a fool to care

(Instrumental Break)

I know I should laugh
And call it a day
But I know I would cry
If you went away

I'm a fool to care
When you don't care for me
You just can't be true
But what can I do
I'm a fool to care

As recorded by JIM REEVES:

I'm a fool to care
When you treat me this way
I know I love you
But what can I do
I'm a fool to care

I'm a fool to cry
When you tell me goodbye
You left me so blue
When you were untrue
I'm a fool to care

I know I should laugh
And call it a day
But I know I will cry
If you go away

I'm a fool to care
When you don't care for me
Why should I pretend
I'll lose in the end
I'm a fool to care

(Instrumental Break)

I'm a fool to care
When you don't care for me
Why should I pretend
I'll lose in the end
I'm a fool to care
