[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
He's got a fool hearted memory
It won't let him see that she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
And he sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
[Verse 2]
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 gla** and then he turns her memory on
[Chorus]
But it's a fool hearted memory
It won't let him see that she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
And he sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
[Verse 3]
He's got a fool hearted memory
It won't let him see that she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
And he sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
