Billie Holiday
"Foolin' Myself"

I tell myself I'm through with love
And I'll have nothing else to do with love
I'll stay away, but every day
I'm just foolin' myself

I tell my friends that I don't care
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair
But they all know, it isn't so
I'm just foolin' myself

And every time I pass
And see myself in the looking glass
I tip my hat and say,
"How do you do, you fool?
You're throwin' your life away"

I'm acting gay, I'm acting proud
And every time I see you in the crowd
I may pretend, but in the end
I'm just foolin' myself
