Lyrics Foolin' Myself - Carmen McRae

Foolin' Myself

I try to keep you out of my heart
But somehow I find
Trying to keep you out of my heart
I’m out of my mind
I tell myself «I'm through with you
And I’ll having nothing more to do with you»
I stay away, but every day
I’m just foolin myself
Tell my friends that I don’t care
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair
But all know it is’t so
I’m just foolin myself
And ev’ry time I pass
And see my face in a looking glass
I tip my hat and say
«How do you do, you fool
You’re trowing your life away»
I’m acting gay
I’m acting proud
And every time I see you in a crowd
I may pretend
But in the end
I’m just foolin myself
