RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - Foolish Love lyrics

rate me

I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless

I don't want to smell you and lose my senses

And smile in slow motion

With eyes in love

I twist like a corkscrew

The sweetness rising

I drink from the bottle, weeping

Why won't you last?

Why can't you last

So i will walk without care

Beat my snare

Look like a man who means business

Go to all the poshest places

With their familiar faces

Terminate all signs of weakness

Oh, all for the sake of a foolish love

I will take my coffee black

Never snack

Hang with the wolves who are sheepish

Flow through the veins of town

Always frown

Me and my mistress, the princess

Oh, all for the sake of a foolish love

So the day noah's ark floats down park

My eyes will be simply glazed over

Or better yet

I'll wear shades on sunless days

And when the sun's out, i'll stay in and slumber

Oh, all for the sake of a foolish love

All for the sake of a foolish love

Cause i don't want to hold you and feel so helpless

I don't want to smell you and lose my senses

And smile in slow motion

With eyes in love
