I must have been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em and I'd leave them alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone
But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked
I'd get out my book and write down her name
But when the grass got a little greener on the other side
I'd just tear out that page
But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did
But I've been strong this time baby
And guess what I'm in love, I'm in love
Lord have mercy
Free, on my own, that's the way it used to be
But since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me
Fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did
I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around and fell in love
