Foolish Heart Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I need a love that grows
I don't want it unless I know
That each passing hour
Someone somehow
Will be there, ready to share

I need a love that's strong
I'm so tired of being alone
But will my lonely heart play the part
Of the fool again?
Before I begin

[Chorus]
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore

[Verse 2]
Feeling that feeling again
I'm playing a game I can't win
Love's knocking on the door
Of my heart once more
Think I'll let her in
Before I begin
[Chorus]
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore

[Post-Chorus]
Foolish heart
Foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before

[Breakdown]
Foolish
Foolish

[Chorus]
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore

[Post-Chorus]
Foolish heart
Oh foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before
[Outro]
Foolish, foolish heart
Foolish heart
