I Was Only Fooling Myself

Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na,
You know, that I've just been foolin' myself,

'Cause when you wrote my name 
on the top of your desk in your classroom,
And when hung my picture 
in a little white frame on the wall,
Well, that just appeared to me,
That you were in love with me, yeah,
But I was only fooling myself

Let me tell ya, now,
When you took me home
to your house to meet your mother,
You know I bought a little something,
just to give your baby brother,
And that just appeared to be,
That you were in love with me,
But I was only fooling myself

For everyone there must be someone,
Who happen to become of their first love,
And when you were mine, 
I thought there'd be no end,
But you were only foolin',
There's no trying to pretend

'Cause when you wrote my name 
on the top of your desk in your classroom,
And when hung my picture 
in a little white frame on your wall,
Well, that just appeared to me,
That you were in love with me, yeah,
But I was only fooling--
Yes, I was only fooling--
Yes, I was only fooling myself
