Foolin' Myself 1937 Vs2

I try to keep you out of my heart,
But somehow I find
trying to keep you out of my heart,
I'm out of my mind.

I tell myself,
'I'm through with you
and I'll have nothing more
to do with you.'
I stay away,
but ev'ry 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 ev'ry time I pass
and see my face
in a 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 ev'ry time
I see you in a crowd,
I may pretend,
but in the end
I'm just foolin' myself!

I tell myself,
'I'm through with you
and I'll have nothing more
to do with you.'
I stay away,
but ev'ry 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 ev'ry time I pass
and see my face
in a 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 ev'ry time
I see you in a crowd,
I may pretend,
but in the end
I'm just foolin' myself!
