Peter tinturin / jack lawrence

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 having nothing more to do with you"
I stay away, but every day
I’m just foolin myself

Tell my friends that i don’t care
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair
But all know it is’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 trowing 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
