Intro I improvise between to start the song. verse 1 Why do I go on fooling myself When I know you love somebody else Only a fool breaks his own heart verse 2 I pretend that I don't see You walking with him on the street Only a fool breaks his own heart Chorus I have to admit Even though it hurt me so I can't forget If I'm a man I'll let you go verse 3 There's no sense in holding on To an old love that's gone Only a fool breaks his own heart Instrumental Chorus I have to accept Even though it hurt me so I can't forget If I'm a man I'll let you go verse 4 There's no sense in holding on To an old love that's gone Only a fool breaks his own heart Only a fool breaks his own heart
