The Elvin Bishop Group Fooled Around and Fell in Love Lyrics:
I must have been through about a million girls.
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone.
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir.
Their tears left me cold as a stone.

But then I fooled around and fell in love.
I fooled around and fell in love,
Since I met'ya, baby,
I fooled around and fell in love,
I fooled around and fell in love.
Mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mm-mm-mmh.

(Aah-aah-aah-ahh, aah-aah-aah-ahh.)

[Instrumental break.]

Free, on my own, that's the way I used to be.
But since I met you, baby love's got a-hold on me.
(Fooled around and fell in love.)
Ooo, it's got a hold on me now, yeah.
(Fooled around and fell in love.)
I can't let go of you, baby.
(Fooled around and fell in love,)
I can't stop lovin' you now.
(Fooled around and fell in love,)
Hey-eh-ey.

'Cause I fooled around (fooled around),
Fooled around (fooled around),
Fooled around (fooled around),
Fooled around (fooled around),

Fooled around (fooled around),
Fooled around (fooled around),
Fell in love.

Fooled around (fooled around),
Fooled around (fooled around),
Yes I did (fooled around).
Fooled around (fooled around),
I fooled (fooled around),
[Fade.]
Fooled around (fooled around),
I fell in love...

Performed by: The Elvin Bishop Group, featuring Mickey Thomas [1] [2] -1973
Appears on: The South's Greatest Hits (Various Artists)-1973, Struttin'
My Stuff-1975 [3] , Raisin' Hell, Live-1977, Best of Elvin Bishop-1979,

[1] Most people are so used to singer/songwriters, it seems odd that the
artist whose name is on a record leaves the singing to another. In this
case, Bishop leaves the lead vocals to Mickey Thomas, later of Jefferson
Starship.]

Summer-1990, T.G. Sheppard-1995, Starship-2003, et al.]

[3] Transcribed from the track on this album.]

[The following verse is heard (usually ad the 3rd) in some versions of the
song:]

It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked,
I'd get out my book and write down her name.
But when the grass got a little greener,
Over on the other side, I'd just tear out that page.
