Rick Nelson Poor Little Fool Lyrics:
I used to play around with hearts,
That hastened at my call.
But when I met that little girl,
I knew that I would fall.
Poor little fool, oh, yeah,
I was a fool, uh-huh.
(Oh-oh, poor little fool,
I was a fool, oh, yeah.)

She'd play around and tease me,
With her carefree devil eyes.
She'd hold me close and kiss me,
But her heart was full of lies.
Poor little fool, oh, yeah,
I was a fool, uh-huh.
(Oh-oh, poor little fool,
I was a fool, oh, yeah.)

She told me how she cared for me,
That we'd never part.
And so for the very first time,
I gave away my heart.
Poor little fool, oh, yeah,
I was a fool, uh-huh.
(Oh-oh, poor little fool,
I was a fool, oh, yeah.)

The next day she was gone and I
Knew she lied to me.
She left me with a broken heart,
And won her victory.

Poor little fool, oh, yeah,
I was a fool, uh-huh.
(Oh-oh, poor little fool,
I was a fool, oh, yeah.)

Well, I'd played this game with other hearts,
But I never thought I'd see,
The day when someone else would play,
Love's foolish game with me.
Poor little fool, oh, yeah,
I was a fool, uh-huh.
(Oh-oh, poor little fool,
I was a fool, oh, yeah.)

Poor little fool, oh, yeah,
I was a fool, uh-huh.
(Oh-oh, poor little fool.)
((Poor little fool.))

[1] Eric Hilliard Nelson, better known as Ricky, joined the cast of his
parents' ABC sitcom, "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," in 1952 at age
11. A fall 1956 episode had him organizing a rock'n'roll band in high
school. Then in an April 1957 telecast he was drafted to perform with a
local band and sang a currently popular Fats Domino hit, "I'm Walkin',"
which promptly became a real-life, million-selling record for him. Ricky
went on to be one of the biggest stars of the early rock and roll era. As with most teenaged boys, he dropped the "y" from his name as a show of maturity but this song was still recorded as "Ricky."]
