Lyrics

Ooh wah, oo wah, oo wah, oo wah, Oo wah, oo wah, Why do fools fall in love?

Why do birds sing so gay

And lov ers a wait the break of day?

Why do they fall in love?

Why

does the rain fall from up a bove?

Why do fools fall in love?

Why do they fall in love?

Love is a los ing game, Love can be a shame; I know of a fool, you see, For that fool is me!

Tell me why,

Tell me why!

Why do birds sing so gay

And lov ers a wait the break of day?

Why do they fall in love?

Why

does the rain fall from up a bove?

Why do fools fall in love?

Why do they fall in love?

Why does my heart

skip a cra zy beat?

For I know

It will reach de feat!

why,

Tell me why!

Why

do fools

in love?
