I don't trust my memory anymore
Can't tell if things are better than they were before
But this heart of mine is ready to believe
Long-lost lover comes back home
And the lifelong friend can't stand to be alone
Until the mornin' comes and you have to leave

Then I see you on the street
Holdin' on to someone else
Who even looks like me

Seems like
I'm only foolin' myself
I'm playin' games with my heart and soul
(Heart and soul)
I know that foolin' myself
Can be dangerous (dangerous)
If I lose control
I'm only foolin' myself
(Foolin' myself)
I'm playin' games with my heart and soul
Everybody knows foolin' yourself
Can be dangerous (dangerous)
When you lose control
Then you've only got yourself to blame
Well, when you asked if I could take you in
It was harder than it should've been
'Cause you were always such good company
And last night you wanted me to stay
But this mornin' you just slipped away
No goodbye, maybe you were just a dream

Well, I'm easy when it comes to bein' kind
And, sure I need a little bit of love on the side
Then the truth begins to hurt
It gets too hard to hide

You know that
I'm only foolin' myself
I'm playin' games with my heart and soul
(Heart and soul)
I know that foolin' myself
Can be dangerous (dangerous)
If I lose control
I'm only foolin' myself
(Foolin' myself)
I'm playin' games with my heart and soul

And if I use sleight of hand
To make you reappear
Still, I can't be sure
What is and isn't there
I'm only foolin' myself
I'm playin' games with my heart and soul
(Heart and soul)
I know that foolin' myself
Can be dangerous (dangerous)
Dangerous
I'm only (foolin' myself)
Foolin' myself
(I'm playin' games with my heart and soul)
Everybody knows foolin' yourself
Can be dangerous (dangerous)
It's dangerous

I'm only foolin' myself
I'm playin' games with my heart and soul
(Heart and soul)
