Foolin' Myself
Duke Ellington
I tell myself I’m through with love That I’ll have nothing more to do with love I stay away but every day I’m just foolin’ myself I tell myself 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 ev’ry time I pass And see his face in the looking glass I tip my hat and say "How do you do you fool You’re throwing your life away" I’m acting gay I’m acting proud And every time I see you in a crowd I just want to shout out loud I’m just foolin’ myself
