How Could I Be Such A Fool

When I won your love, I was very glad

Every happiness in the world belonged to me

Then our love was lost and you went away

Now I shed my tears in lonely misery

I know now that you never ever really loved me

It hurts me now to think you never ever really cared

I sit and I ask myself a thousand times to try and find

What really happened to the love that we shared

How could I be such a fool

How could I believe all those lies you told me

How could I be taken in by your sweet face

You spoiled out love, your ruined my life

I'm so tore down, I'm a terrible disgrace

But there will come a time and you'll regret the way

You treated me as if I was a fool and didn't know

The many times you lied about your love for me

Someone else is going to know that your love is just a show

How could I be, be such a fool

How could I be, be such a fool

How could I be, be such a fool

How could I be, be such a fool

How could I be, be such a fool

How could I be, be such a fool

En esta canción se repite lo que The Mothers of Invention han tratado hasta ahora en el álbum. Esta es una canción parodiada de las música de la juventud en el principal objetivo reside en adoptar los estilos musicales populares de la cultura de los Estados Unidos y transformar su contenido para así crear una satirización de esta cultura, How could I be such a fool/¿cómo pude ser tan idiota? es la burla de una historia de desamor de dos jóvenes (como Go Cry Somebody Else’s Shoulder) que suena como una canción de amor pero su contenido es totalmente lo contrario y su característica transgresora es satirizar las canciones típicamente pop de los 50’s y 60’s.

Al irme adentrando en las siguientes canciones (las del segundo LP) podré presentar con mayores elementos la intención de The Mothers de hacer estas sátiras.
