Nickels and dimes Memories and wines She's on his mind once again The same old stool The same old fool Played by the rules but didn't win There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose He tried forgetting but he knows that it's no use He's got a fool hearted memory That won't let him see That she walked out the door He's got a fool hearted memory He sits patiently Here every night so it can fool him more She was his girl His only whirl That string of pearls that slipped away A thousand dimes A thousand times He doesn't mind what they say He fills the jukebox And plays the same old song He fills his glass And then he turns her memory on He's got a fool hearted memory That won't let him see That she walked out the door He's got a fool hearted memory He sits patiently Here every night so it can fool him more He's got a fool hearted memory That won't let him see That she walked out the door He's got a fool hearted memory He sits patiently Here every night so it can fool him more
