Just like a fool I asked him if he'd go with us tonight   And like a fool I let him dance with you and hold you tight   I knew if you'd be thrilled by all those whispered things you've heard   But like a fool I never said a word      Just like a fool I smiled and told him you would be my bride   But something didn't feel just right a way down deep inside   I sat there helplessly as someone tore my world apart   And like a fool I watched him win your heart   [ steel ]   Just like a fool I listened as you both told me goodbye   And like a fool I couldn't help the teardrops in my eyes   There wasn't anything to do or anything to say   So like a fool I watched you walk away      There wasn't anything to do or anything to say   So like a fool I watched you walk away
