[Verse:]
|
Why do I allow my heart to make decisions for me?
|
Why do I keep list'ning to my heart?
|
Why do I get so involved when I would rather be free?
|
Maybe it's because I'm not so smart
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Fools fall in love
|
Only lunatics fall in love
|
And I'm a fool
|
|
Fools seek romance
|
Only idiots take the chance
|
And I'm a fool
|
|
I should be able to put all my feelings aside
|
I should be able to take one free ride in my stride
|
|
But fools cannot play
|
They get serious right away
|
And break the rule
|
My heart's on fire when I know I ought to keep cool
|
Fools fall in love and I'm such a fool
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Why do you get so involved when you would rather be free?
|
Why not give your heart what it may crave?
|
Why not let your heart decide the question, Which will it be:
|
Old man's darling or a young man's slave?
|
