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
