About Love's Made a Fool of You

"Love's Made a Fool of You" is a song co-written and originally performed by Buddy Holly. It was later re-recorded by Sonny Curtis and the Crickets, with the lead vocal by Earl Sinks, and famously covered by the Bobby Fuller Four. Buddy Holly first wrote the song in 1954. It was not until 1958 that it was recorded, as an Everly Brothers demo, which was not released until 1964 on the posthumous Showcase LP. The first public release of "Love's Made a Fool of You", however, was by the Crickets, headed by Sonny Curtis in 1959. It was released as a single from In Style with the Crickets, and stayed on the U. K. singles chart for two weeks, peaking at #26. The Crickets' version, without Holly, was accidentally included on the 1972 compilation album Buddy Holly: A Rock and Roll Collection; the same mistake was made on 1997's The Very Best of Buddy Holly.

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
