From Freak out! (1966) by Frank Zappa

How Could I Be Such a Fool (Zappa) - 2:12

When I won your love
I was very glad
Every happiness in the world
Belonged to me
Then your love was lost
And you went away
Now I shed my tears
In lonely misery

I know now that you never
Ever really loved me
It hurts me now to think you never
Ever really cared
I sit and ask myself a thousand times
To try and find
What really happened to the love
That we shared

How could I be such a fool
How could I believe
All those lies you told me
How could I be taken in
By your sweet face
You spoiled our love
You ruined my life
I'm so tore down
I'm a terrible disgrace
But there will come a time
When you'll regret the way

You treated me
As if I was a fool
And didn't know
The many times you lied
About your love for me
Someone else is gonna know
That your love was just a show...

How could I be such a fool?
