From the recording To The Outback And Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Each time you walk out that door
My heart breaks that much more
Is it me or is it you?
Which of us will play the fool?
[Verse 2]
This is not an easy game to play
I sat and cried again today
As I tried to figure out
Should I call your bluff or just fold it out?
[Chorus]
But again I don't give in
Though I know I just can't win
I just never seem to learn
Always end up getting myself burned
Papa said son there is one golden rule
You won't win if you have a heart of a fool
You won't win if you have a heart of a fool
[Verse 3]
Spent the whole damn night thinking
Of a way to make you stay
All that's left is the tear-stained picture
That I can't bear to put away
[Verse 4]
At night when I cry myself to sleep
It's all I have to comfort me
This morning I woke up at half-past two
My foolish heart still missing you
[Chorus]
But again I don't give in
Though I know I just can't win
I just never seem to learn
Always end up getting myself burned
Papa said son there's one golden rule
You won't win if you have a heart of a fool
[Verse 5]
Tried my best to go back to sleep
But all I could do was keep
Asking is it me or you?
Which one has the heart of a fool?
I knew what you were going to say
Another man stole your heart away
[Verse 6]
No matter how I tried to figure out
It's you girl without a doubt
In the mirror you'll see who
In the end be playing the fool
[Chorus]
I'm so glad I didn't give in
'Cause this time I'm the one who wins
It took a while, but I learned
How to keep from getting myself burned
Papa said the one exception to the rule
Call their bluff with the heart of a fool
Call their bluff with the heart of a fool
