[[Cruising With Ruben & The Jets|CRUISING WITH RUBEN & THE JETS]] version - 
<br>When I won your love
<br>I was very glad
<br>Every happiness in the world
<br>Belonged to me
<br>Then our love was lost
<br>And you went away
<br>Now I shed my tears
<br>In lonely misery
<br>I know now that you never ever really loved me
<br>It hurts me now to think you never ever really cared
<br>I sit and ask myself a thousand times
<br>To try and find
<br>What really happened to the love that we shared

<br>How could I be such a fool?
<br>How could I believe all those lies you told me?
<br>How could I be taken in by your sweet face?
<br>You spoiled our love
<br>You ruined my life
<br>I'm so, so down
<br>I'm a terrible disgrace

<br>But there will come a time
<br>And you'll regret the way
<br>You treated me as if I was a fool
<br>And didn't know
<br>The many times you lied
<br>About your love for me
<br>Someone else is gonna know
<br>That your love was just a show

<br>How could I be such a fool?

==Notes About This Song==

FZ liner notes on "[[Freak Out!]]" (1966): "'[[How Could I Be Such A Fool]]' is based on a modified nanigo rhythm. We call it a [[Wikipedia:Motown|Motown]] Walz. It stays in 3/4 time throughout, but shifts in the accents occur from section to section. As an American teen-ager (as an American), this means nothing to you. (I always wondered if I could write a love song.)."

This song is not on the 1LP version of "Freak Out"
