Classic Poem

I tell myself, " I'm through with you
And I'll have nothing more to do with you. "
I stay away, but ev'ry day
I'm just foolin' myself!
I tell my friends that I don't care,
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair;
But they all know it isn't so,
I'm just foolin' myself.
And ev'ry 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 ev'ry time I see you in a crowd
I may pretend, but in the end
I'm just foolin' myself.
