I must have been through about a million girls

I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em 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, yes I did

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

Ah, but when the, the grass got a little greener over on the other side

I'd just tear out that page



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



------ guitar solo ------



Free, on my own is the way I used to be

Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me

It's got a hold on me now

I can't let go of you baby



I fooled around and fell in love

I fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did

I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,

fooled around, fooled around, fell in love

Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,

fooled around, fooled around, fell in love

I fooled around, fell in love

I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did
