After I've had my last cigarette When the night is as black As the night's goin' to 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 Though 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 and deep 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 No, 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've seen what it cost And what I'm going through I know I was a fool I was a fool to let you go
