Louisiana Purchase soundtrack – Fools Fall In Love lyrics

Album: Louisiana Purchase

Music: Irving Berlin
Lyrics: Irving Berlin
Book: Morrie Ryskind
Premiere: Tuesday, May 28, 1940
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
Fools fall in love
Only lunatics fall in love
And I'm a fool
Fools seek romance
Only idiots seek romance
And I'm a fool
I should be able to put all my feeling 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
