Lyrics

Ooh wah ooh wah, ooh wah ooh wah
Ooh wah ooh wah, 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 put people to shame
I know of a fool you see, for that fool is me
Tell my why?
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 crazy beat?
For I know not will reach defeat
Tell me why?
Why do fools fall in love?
