Foolin' Myself - Mose Allison

I tell myself: «I'm through with love

And I’ll have nothing more to do with love»

I stay away

But every day

I’m just foolin' myself

I tell my friends that I don’t care

I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair

But they all know

It isn’t so

I’m just foolin' myself

And every time I turn

And see myself in the looking glass

I tip my hat and say:

«How do you do, you fool?

You’re throwin' your life away!»

I’m acting gay, I’m acting proud

And every time I see you in a crowd

I may pretend

But in the end

I’m just foolin' myself
