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,
and love can be a shame,
I know of a fool you see,
for that fool is me,
tell me why-ah ah ah ah ah,
tell me 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 a crazy beat?
For I know it will reach defeat,
Tell my why-ah ah ah ah ah
Tell me why?
Why do fools fall in love?
