Foolin' Myself

Foolin' Myself - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

I tell myself I'm through with love

And I'll be having nothing more to do with love

I stay away but every day

I'm just foolin' myself

I tell my friends that I don't care

I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair

But all know it isn't so

I'm just foolin' myself

And every 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 every time I see you in a crowd

I may pretend but in the end

I'm just foolin' myself
