Fools Fall in Love - Lee Wiley, Ирвинг Берлин

Why do I allow my heart to make decisions for me?

Why do I keep listening to my heart?

Why do I get so involved when I would rather be free?

Maybe it’s because I’m not so smart

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

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?
