How Do I Tell Them? Lyrics

Some girls never learn like me, for instance.
Everybody's talking.
They all want to know
Why have I been spending all this time alone.

Do I say he joined the Army,
Was lost in Katmandu?
I've got to find a story that's better than the truth.

How do I tell them?
I was just a fool for love.
How do I tell them?
I was just a fool for love.
How do I tell them?
I was just a fool for love.
How do I tell them?
Fool for love.

They all tried to warn me,
But I couldn't see.
I was busy laughing.
Now the joke's on me.

I said he was the real thing.
They told me, "Don't get stung."
What I thought was forever.
Was him just having fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

How do I tell them?
I was just a fool for love.
How do I tell them?
I was just a fool for love?
How do I tell them?
I was just a fool for love.
How do I tell them?
Fool for love.

How do I tell them?
It's so embarrassing.
How do I tell them?
I gave everything I had.
How do I tell them?
They said I'd never change him.
How do I tell them?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I said he was the real thing.
They told me, "Don't get stung."
What I thought was forever.
Was him just having fun.
