I try to keep you out of my heart

But somehow I find

Trying to keep you out of my heart

I'm out of my mind


I tell myself I'm through with you

And I'll be having nothing more to do with you

I stay away, but every day

I'm just foolin' myself


Tell my friends that I don't care

I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair

But all know it isn't so

I'm just foolin' myself


And every time I pass

And see my face in a looking glass

I tip my hat and say

How do you do, you fool

You're throwing your life away


I'm acting gay, I'm acting proud

And every time I see you in a crowd

I may pretend, but in the end

I'm just foolin' myself
