Foolish Heart

Foolish Heart - Lotte Lenya

Can you tell me how these things happen

Have I trusted in love too much

When did the magic vanish

Have I somehow lost my touch

How gay the world could be

Could I love you could he love me

Love shouldn't be serious should it

You meet you kiss you start

I fancied that I understood it

I forgot my foolish heart

Love can't be illogical can it

You kiss perhaps you smile you part

It happens the way that you plan it

If you hush your foolish heart

Poor foolish heart

Crying for one who ignores you

Poor foolish heart

Flying from one who adores you

Ah love used to touch me so lightly

Why will my heart betray me so

I would dance with a new lover nightly

But my foolish heart says no

Poor foolish heart

Crying for one who ignores you

Poor foolish heart

Flying from one who adores you

Ah love used to touch me so lightly

Why will my heart betray me so

I would dance with a new lover nightly

But my foolish heart says no
