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
   Tho 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 empty 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
   I know 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 see what it cost and what I'm goin' thru
   I know I was a fool
   I was a fool to let you go
