Nickels and dimes

Memories and wine

She's on his mind once again

The same ol' stew the same ol' fool

Played by the rules but didn't win

There's an old love in

His heart that he can't lose

He tried forgettin' but

He knows that it's no use

He's got a fool hearted memory

It won't let him see

That she walked out the door

He's got a fool hearted memory

He sits patiently

Here every night so it can fool him more

She was his girl his only world

That string of pearls that slipped away

A thousand dimes a thousand times

He doesn't mind what they say

He fills the jukebox

Then plays the same ol' song

He fills his glass and then

He turns her memory on

But it's a fool hearted memory

It won't let him see

That she walked out the door

He's got a fool hearted memory

He sits patiently

Here every night so it can fool him more

He's got a fool hearted memory

That won't let him see

That she walked out the door

He's got a fool hearted memory

He sits patiently

Here every night so

It can fool him more
