Song lyrics edit
- Falling in love with love
Is falling for make believe.
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool;
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy.
Learning to trust is just
For children in school.
I fell in love with love one night
When the moon was full,
I was unwise with eyes
Unable to see.
I fell in love with love,
With love everlasting,
But love fell out with me.
