Some girls never learn Like me, for instance Everybody's talkin', they all want to know Why have I been spendin' all this time alone Do I say he joined the Army Was lost in Katmandu I've got to find a story That's better than the truth (Chorus) How do I tell them I was just a fool for love How do I tell them I was just a fool for love How do I tell them I was just a fool for love How do I tell them Fool for love They all tried to warn me But I couldn't see I was busy laughin' Now the joke's on me I said he was the real thing They told me, "Don't get stung" What I thought was forever Was him just havin' fun Yeah yeah yeah yeah (Repeat chorus) How do I tell them It's so embarrassing How do I tell them I gave everything I had How do I tell them They said I'd never change him How do I tell them Yeah yeah yeah yeah I said he was the real thing They told me, "Don't get stung" What I thought was forever Was him just havin' fun
