Last Of The Red Hot Fools Lyrics

I been a fool played it dumb
Shoulda played it smart
Used my head but not my heart

Musta been crazy played it hot
I shoulda played it cool
Now I'm just the last of the red hot fools

(Whoa)
Everybody said you were an easy mark
It was a cinch to catch your eye
Just a matter of getting your attention
Acting suggestive
And not being coy and shy

I been a fool played it dumb
Shoulda played it smart
Used my head but not my heart

Musta been crazy played it hot
I shoulda played it cool
Now I'm just the last of the red hot fools

(Yeah)
When I was alone and I would think of you
I always knew what I would say
But whenever I'd see you I'd shiver
And say something silly
Or just look the other way

And instead of even trying
I just shut up
And looked for an excuse to say good-bye

I been a fool played it dumb
Shoulda played it smart
Used my head but not my heart

Musta been crazy played it hot
I shoulda played it cool
Now I'm just the last of the red hot fools (Oh yeah)
I didn't understand what was wrong with me
I didn't understand what was making me shy
I knew I had to choose
I didn't want to lose
But how can I win when I'm too scared to try

(Oh oh)
All my friends say I should call you up
You'd be sure to see the light
Just a matter of picking up the phone book
looking up the number
and calling you up that night

But, instead of trying harder
I just jumped up and hung up the receiver when you said 'Hi'

I been a fool played it dumb
Shoulda played it smart
Used my head but not my heart

(I) Musta been crazy played it hot
I shoulda played it cool
Now I'm just the last of the red hot f-f-fools

Played it dumb
Shoulda played it smart
Used my head but not my heart

(I) Musta been crazy played it hot
I shoulda played it cool
Now I'm just the last of the red hot fools

Now I'm just the last of the red hot fools
Now I'm just the last of the red hot fools
Now I'm just the last of the red hot fools
