no sense apologizing at 4:30 am
as she slaps his face and pulls a hair
from his chin
someday she'll say enough
but for now she's a fool for love

he's been out swinging
swinging like satan's barn door
she's at home making plans
to keep him poor
when push comes to shove
you're just a fool for love

she wants the world
to stop for her pain
the man and the child
to be one and the same
you're so kind to strangers
but you take it out on me
the eagle is no friend of the dove
you're just a fool for love

he makes a promise
that he'd love to keep
she oughta leave him
but she knows
she's in too deep
in love with him
she oughta leave him
but she's so
fool for love

we've seen moses
and abraham fall
loyal to every woman
but he can't have them all
and like the saints above
he's just a fool for love

she wants the world
to stop for her pain
the man and the child
to be one and the same
you're so kind to strangers
then you take it out on me
the eagle is no friend of the dove
you're just a fool for love

he makes a promise
that he'd love to keep
she oughta leave him
but she knows
she's in too deep
in love with him
she oughta leave him
but she's so
fool for love

and she asks the lord above
why am i a fool for love
