Fall in love, fall in love, says my heart 
Take a chance, it's romance says my heart 
But each time that I'm almost in your arms 
This old school teacher brain of mine 
Keeps ringing in false alarms 

Then my head rules instead then I'm wise 
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes 
So I kiss and then I run but the moment that I'm done 
Oh, you fool, that was love, says my heart.
