After I've had my last cigarette

When the night is as black as the night's gonna get

Well, I'm still wide awake cause I still can't forget

I was a fool to let you go

And after I've closed the bar with the boys

Tho I can't stand the drinks and I can't stand the noise

When I know I'll be back 'cause there's no other choice

I know I was a fool to let you go

I was a fool to think

That I could sleep a wink

In this big empty bed by myself

And I was a fool to wait

Until it was too late

To tell you just how I felt

And after I've been with somebody new

And she knows what to say

Ah but not what to do

Then I know what I've lost and I know it's so true

I know I was a fool to let you go

And after I've been with somebody new

And she knows what to say

Ah but not what to do

Then I know what I've lost and I know it's so true

When I see what it cost and what I'm goin' thru

I know I was a fool

I was a fool to let you go
