I'm going round in circles, acting like a fool,
I've played the game of love,
And I don't even know the rules.
I gave my heart to someone,
She broke it, just today.
An' I'm gonna lose a lot of teardrops this way.

I suppose I should be careful but how was I to know?
She looked so sweet and innocent,
But that's the way it goes.
It happens to the best of us,
At least, that's what they say.
But I'm gonna lose a lot of teardrops this way.

Something sure had better change,
But what am I to do?
Surely there's someone around,
Who needs a love that's true.

But I guess I'll keep on searching,
But one thing I can say:
I'm gonna lose a lot of teardrops this way.
