Lyrics
Oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah, oo-wah
Oo-wah, oo-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?
Refrain
Love is a losing game
Love can be a shame
I know of a fool, you see
For that fool is me
Tell me why, tell me why
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?
Refrain
Why does my heart
Skip a crazy beat?
For I know
It will reach defeat
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do fools fall in love?
