[Verse 1]
Sure you haven't got the wrong number?
You sure it's me you want to talk to tonight?
Everyone in town's got your number
Everybody's got you pegged right
[Chorus]
Is that why you got in touch with me?
I guess you must be running out of fools
[Verse 2]
When you went and left me there crying
Your goodbye was even colder than ice
It didn't bother you I was crying
And now you want to break my heart twice
[Chorus]
Is that why you got in touch with me?
I guess you must be running out of fools
[Bridge]
Guess you got back (Guess you got)
To my name (To my name)
In your little black book
Well, listen
Tell you what (Tell you what)
Bet you forgot (You forgot)
How I even look
[Verse 3]
So go ahead with all your sweet talking
Go ahead for all the good it can do
Have yourself a dime's worth of talking
And then I'm going to hang right up on you
[Chorus]
Because this time, you're not, you're not getting through to me
I guess you must be running out of fools
[Outro]
Even fools like me
Even fools like me
I said you're running out of fools
Even old fools like me
Sure you haven't got the wrong number?
You sure it's me you want to talk to tonight?
Everyone in town's got your number
Everybody's got you pegged right
[Chorus]
Is that why you got in touch with me?
I guess you must be running out of fools
[Verse 2]
When you went and left me there crying
Your goodbye was even colder than ice
It didn't bother you I was crying
And now you want to break my heart twice
[Chorus]
Is that why you got in touch with me?
I guess you must be running out of fools
[Bridge]
Guess you got back (Guess you got)
To my name (To my name)
In your little black book
Well, listen
Tell you what (Tell you what)
Bet you forgot (You forgot)
How I even look
[Verse 3]
So go ahead with all your sweet talking
Go ahead for all the good it can do
Have yourself a dime's worth of talking
And then I'm going to hang right up on you
[Chorus]
Because this time, you're not, you're not getting through to me
I guess you must be running out of fools
[Outro]
Even fools like me
Even fools like me
I said you're running out of fools
Even old fools like me
