Also recorded by: Brendan Dugan & Jodie Vaughan
The first time you hurt me, I thought I'd die
The second time it happened, I cried all night
They say a heart can stand just so much grief and pain
But a fool in love keeps lovin', they never change
There's no fool like an old fool
That's loved and lost at least a hundred times
There's no fool like an old fool
That keeps on fallin' for the same old line
(Instrumental Break)
You call and say you're sorry that you let me down
I take you back cause you're what makes my world go round
And though I know my chances are so very small
I'd rather have a part of you than none at all
There's no fool like an old fool
That's loved and lost at least a hundred times
There's no fool like an old fool
That keeps on fallin' for the same old line
