Poor little fool - Ricky Nelson tribute (cover)

Cover version. Ricky's first #1 hit, released July 1958.
Words and music by Sharon Sheeley
I used to play around with hearts that hastened at my call
But when I met that little girl, I knew that I would fall
Poor little fool
Oh yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh
[uh-huh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah]
She'd play around and tease me with her carefree devil eyes
She'd hold me close and kiss me, but her heart was full of lies
Poor little fool
Oh yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh
[uh-huh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah]
She told how she cared for me, that we'd never part
And so for the very first time I gave away my heart
Poor little fool
Oh yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh
[uh-huh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah]
The next day she was gone and I knew she lied to me
She left me with a broken heart, won her victory
Poor little fool
Oh yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh
[uh-huh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah]
Well I played this game with other hearts, but I never thought I'd see
The day when someone else would play love's foolish game with me
Poor little fool
Oh yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh
[uh-huh, poor little fool, I was a fool, oh yeah]
Poor little fool
Oh yeah, I was a fool, uh-huh
[uh-huh, poor little fool, little fool]

I will be 55 years old in a few more days. I have a good memory and I can still remember my older uncle playing Ricky Nelson even though my parent's didn't approve. What I am doing with Pequinito's good work here is archiving these old quality songs. Songs when the singers had more talent and style than the screeching of today.

I'm 54 and played this record over and over. Yuo not bad just need a little more fire in your voice and make it sound more sexy. This what Ricky was all about chick would die for him. Dave
