Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah, 
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, why do fools fall in love 

VERSE: 
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 

BRIDGE 
Love is a losing game, love can be a shame 
I know of a fool you see, for that fool is me 
Tell my why, tell me why 

REPEAT VERSE - THEN BRIDGE #2 

BRIDGE #2 
Why does my heart skip a crazy beat 
For I know I will reach defeat 
Tell me why, tell my why 

Why does my heart skip a crazy beat 
For I know it will reach defeat 
Tell me why, tell me why 

REPEAT first half Verse 1, then... 

Why do they fall in love 
Why...do fools...fall in love
