Nickels and dimes

Memories and wines

She's on his mind once again

The same old fool

The same old stool

Played by the rules but didn't win

There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose

He tried forgetting but he knows that it's no use



Chorus:

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



She was his girl

His only whirl

That string of pearls that slipped away

A thousand dimes

A thousand times

He doesn't mind what they say

He fills the jukebox

And plays the same old song

He fills his glass

And then he turns her memory on



Chorus
