Convergence of an integral - book vs. me

Let f(t) be a function in L^2. I am interested under which conditions converges the integral

\int_0^\infty \frac{|F(\omega)|^2}{\omega} d\omega

where F(omega) denotes the Fourier transform of f.

My book, well, several books actually, say the sufficient conditions are
1) F(0) = 0 (naturally)
2) F is continuously differentiable (C^1)

I don't understand why the differentiability is neccessary. My conjecture - if F is continuous (not neccessarily C1), then the integral converges around zero because of the first condition and thus everywhere since F is in L2 because f was in L2 and the Fourier transform maps L2 onto L2, so there is no problem around infinity.

Where am I wrong? Thanks for any ideas, H.
