Why Do Fools Fall In Love?

Why do fools fall in love?

Why do birds sing so gay

And lovers await the break of day

Why do they fall in love

Why does the rain fall from up above

Why do fools fall in love

Why do they fall in love

Love is a losing game

Love can be a shame

I know of a fool you see

That fool is me

Why do fools fall in love?

Why do birds sing so gay

And lovers await the break of day

Why do they fall in love

Why does the rain fall from up above

Why do fools fall in love

Why do they fall in love

Why does my heart skip this crazy beat

Because it knows

It will reach defeat

Tell me why, tell me why

Why do fools fall in love?
