Foolish Pleasure

When I saw your sparkling eyes
Pretty soon I surmised
That you were going to be the girl for me
But pretty soon, your sparkling eyes
Couldn’t cover up your lies
It was plain you’d been untrue to me

Foolish pleasure, selfish pride
Top it all off with your lies
You must think that I’m some kind of fool
You go on and have your fun
The whole town knows just what you’ve done
Pretty soon your time will come
Your foolish pride will come undone.

Your charm, your wit, your tender smile
I’d gladly walk a country mile
If I could only be right by your side
But you just had to fool around
With the guys from the town
And leave this country boy at home to cry.

You got your head up in the air
You walk around without a care
For this country boy you left so blue.
But I’m not going to wait this time
A truer love I’m sure to find
And all these blues will then belong to you.
