ONLY A FOOL BREAKS HIS OWN HEART WRITERS NORMAN BERGEN, SHELLY COBURN Why do I go on fooling myself; When I know you love somebody else; Only a fool, breaks his own heart; I pretend I don't see; You walking with him on the street; Only a fool, breaks his own heart; I have to admit, even though it hurt me so; I can't forget. If I'm a man, I'll let you go; There's no sense in holding on; To an old love that's gone; Only a fool, breaks his own heart; I have to accept, even though it hurt me so; I can't forget. If I'm a man, I'll let you go; There's no sense in holding on; To an old love that's gone; Only a fool, breaks his own heart; Only a fool, breaks his own heart
