Love can make a fool of you You do anything it wants you to Love can make you feel so good, when it goes like you think it should Or it can make you cry at night, when your baby don't treat you right When you're feeling sad and blue You know love's made a fool of you You know love makes fools of men But you don't care, you're gonna try again Time goes by, it's a-passin' fast, you think true love has come at last But by and by you're gonna find, crazy love has made you blind When you're feeling sad and blue You know love's made a fool of you
