<br>

Music: Irving Berlin<br>

Lyrics: Irving Berlin<br>

Book: Morrie Ryskind<br>

Premiere: Tuesday, May 28, 1940<br>

<br>

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

Why do I keep list'ning to my heart?<br>

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

Maybe it's because I'm not so smart<br>

<br>

Fools fall in love<br>

Only lunatics fall in love<br>

And I'm a fool<br>

<br>

Fools seek romance<br>

Only idiots seek romance<br>

And I'm a fool<br>

<br>

I should be able to put all my feeling aside<br>

I should be able to take one free ride in my stride<br>

<br>

But fools cannot play<br>

They get serious right away<br>

And break the rule<br>

My heart's on fire when I know I ought to keep cool<br>

Fools fall in love and I'm such a fool<br>

<br>
