How Could I Be Such A Fool

Lyrics
CRUISING WITH RUBEN & THE JETS version - When I won your love / I was very glad / Every happiness in the world / Belonged to me / Then our 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, so down / I'm a terrible disgrace / But there will come a time / And 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?

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 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.)."
