Lyrics:

[Originally by Elvin Bishop]

I must have been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love

It used be when i'd see a girl that i liked
I'd get out my book and write down her name
But when the grass got a little greener on the other side
I'd just tare out the page

But then i fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
Since i met you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I folled around and fell in love
Yes I did

But out of this darkness baby
Guess what
I'm in love, I'm in love lord have mercey
Free, on my own that's the way I used to be
Ah, but since I met you baby
Love's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me now
I can't let go of you baby

I can't stop lovin' you now
'Cause I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around
Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fell in love

Fooled around, fooled around, yes I did
Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around
I fell in love, yes I did
