Nickels and dimes, memories and wines
Shes on his mind once again
The same old stool, the same old fool
Played by the rules but didnt win
And theres an old love in his heart that he cant lose
He tried forgettin but he knows that its no use
Hes got a fool hearted memory
It wont let him see that she walked out the door
Hes got a fool hearted memory
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more
She was his girl, his only whirl
That string of pearls that slipped away
A thousand dimes, a thousand times
He doesnt mind what they say
He fills the jukebox, then plays the same old song
He fills his glass and then he turns her memory on
But its a fool hearted memory
It wont let him see that she walked out the door
Hes got a fool hearted memory
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more
