Ogden Nash - My Foolish Heart lyrics

(Verse) Will 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 you love me (Chorus) 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, 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 (dance break) 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
