I'd rather drown than know this much pain
Death's come a-knockin'
My coffin's been lain
For love is a woman shrouded and sweet
Smiling so shyly
With a scythe up her sleeve
What will I do now
Why does she love him
How can I go on when the goin's so cruel
She'll never know just how much I love her
Lovin's for fools
Lovin's for fools
It's love of another that's fickle as thieves
Lie down with the dogs and you're bound to get fleas
It's lust that you speak of
It's got you confused
Any love of another is the love of a fool
But what will I do now
Why does she love him
How can I go on when the goin's so cruel
She'll never know just how much I love her
Lovin's for fools
Lovin's for fools
Give me more money
Then do as I say
Their love will sour
'Til he forgets her name
Give me more money and soon she'll be yours
Risk death to woo her
Don't give up before
But what will I do now
Why does she love him
How can I go on when the goin's so cruel
She'll never know just how much I love her
Lovin's for fools
Lovin's for fools
