YOU'RE FOOLING SOMEONE
(Griffin / Fox / Muir)

as recorded by Joni James
with Orchestra conducted by Lew Douglas
1953


You're foolin' someone with your make believe heart,
Though I know better that you're playing a part!
Your foolish stories are exactly like you,
You wouldn't tell me you were being untrue!

You've found a new love, congratulations from me.
If she's not a true love, oh how lonely you'll be!
Then you'll be sorry when your heart breaks in two,
You're foolin' someone and that someone is you!

You're foolin' someone (foolin' around all over town!)
With your make believe heart, (and you know it isn't smart!)
Though I know better (and xxxx? that I found out!)
That you're playing a part! (do you think you'll break my heart?)
Your foolish stories (all the lies you told to me!)
Are exactly like you, (you were wrong as you could be)
You wouldn't tell me (when you made a fool of me!)
You were being untrue! (gee but it's good to be free!) 

You've found a new love, congratulations from me.
If she's not a true love, oh how lonely you'll be!
Then you'll be sorry when your heart breaks in two,
You're foolin' someone and that someone is you!
