Songwriter: David Bowie

And I say to myself
I've got it wrong, wrong, wrong
She is a play-girl
She the wrong wrong girl for me
And I say to myself
You're a fool, fool, fool
She doesn't love you
She doesn't need you, this I know

She's got a trail of men that she takes
Wherever she goes
She hasn't the strength to love any single man for a length of time

(And I say to myself)
Ooh, I don't stand a chance
(And I say to myself)
It's a long long romance
(And I say to myself)
Well, she's out to slay
(And I say to myself)
Well, she's got it made
(And I say to myself)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
(And I say to myself)
Oh yeah

And I say to myself that she shouldn't love anybody else in the world but me
And I say to myself
Forget her now, now, now
She don't want you
She don't love you anymore
And I say to myself you're a fool, fool, fool
She's don't love you
She don't need you, this I know

And I turn around and look at myself
You'll never get her, you're a fool
Say after me I'm a fool- I'm a fool

(And I say to myself)
I can't get what I want
(And I say to myself)
And it makes me sad
(And I say to myself)
I can't get what I want
(And I say to myself)
And it makes me mad
(And I say to myself)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
(And I say to myself)
Oh yeah

And I say to myself that she shouldn't love anybody else in the world but me
Yeah
Yeah

(And I say to myself)
Oh, I feel so sad
(And I say to myself)
She's making me mad
(And I say to myself)
And I say to myself
(And I say to myself)
That I love her
(And I say to myself)
And I say to myself that I need her
(And I say to myself)
Oh, I need her

And I say to myself I'm a fool
And I say to myself

The Lower Third

The Lower Third was a British rock band from the mid sixties which formed in 1963. In 1965, it gained lead singer and frontman Davie Jones, calling it Davie Jones & The Lower Third. This was the third band Davie Jones was in, his first being Davie Jones & The King Bees and the second being The Manish Boys.

In 1966, Davie Jones legally changed his name to David Bowie to avoid confusion with the artist Davy Jones of The Monkees. In 1966, the band broke up because of a dispute with their manager. Before the band’s breakup, Bowie recorded three singles with The Lower Third, the first two under the name Davie Jones and the third under the name David Bowie.

After the breakup, David Bowie went on to pursue a solo career, releasing his archaic eponymous debut album a year after in 1967, not to be confused with his eponymous 1969 album.
