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 And I can't stand the drinks And I can't cut the noise Well, I know I'll be back 'Cause there's no other choice I was a fool to let you go Yes, I was a fool to think that I could sleep a wink In this big empty bed all by myself And I was a fool to wait till it was far too late Just to tell you of the things that I felt And after I've been With somebody new And she knows what to say But then not what to do Well, I know what I've lost By what I'm going through Yes, I was a fool to let you go And after I've been With somebody new And she knows what to say But then not what to do Well, I know what I've lost By what I'm going through While I'm counting the cost My losing you Yes, I was a fool I was a fool to let you go
