Lyrics Third Time Lucky (First Time I Was a Fool) - 2016 Remaster - Foghat

It′s all behind me
There's good luck up ahead
Can′t break what's left of my heart
Once bitten twice shy
This time it feels so good
I hate to see it all fall apart

First love I had was seventeen and I was younger
Love to us was some kind of game
And all my letters said I never would forget her
Now I can't recall her name

The first time I was a fool
I never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened to me again
Third time lucky

I was in love one time
I thought it was a real thing
But I kept the feelings to myself
Afraid to show it, expecting her to know
It was the reason she found someone else

It′s all behind me
There′s good luck up ahead
Can't break what′s left of my heart
Once bitten twice shy
This time it feels so good
I hate to see it all fall apart

The first time I was a fool
I never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened to me again
Third time lucky
Oh, yeah

The first time I was a fool
I never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened to me again
Third time lucky
Oh, yeah

The first time I was a fool
I never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened to me again
Third time lucky
Oh, yeah

The first time I was a fool
I never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened to me again
Third time lucky
Oh, yeah

First time I was a fool
