Mose Allison Lyrics
"Foolin' Myself"

I tell myself I'm through with love,
And I'll have nothing more to do with love;
I stay away,
But every 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 every time I turn and see myself in the looking glass,
I tip my hat and say,
"How do you do you fool? you're throwin' your life away!".

I'm acting gay, I'm acting proud,
And every time I see you in a crowd,
I may pretend'
But in the end
I'm just foolin' myself!
