I must have been through about a million girls I’d love ‘em and I’d leave ‘em alone I didn't care how much they cried, no sir Their tears left me cold as a stone Then I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love Used to be when I’d see a boy that I liked I’d get out my book and I’d write down his name But when the grass got a little greener on the other side I’d just tear out that page Then I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I was free, on my own, that’s the way I used to be But since I met you baby, love’s got a hold on me I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love
