Van Dyke Parks - Foolish Love lyrics

[Intro] I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless I don't want to smell you and lose my senses And smile in slow motion With eyes in love I twist like a corkscrew The sweetness rising I drink from the bottle, weeping Why won't you last? Why can't you last? [Verse 1] So I will walk without care Beat my snare Look like a man who means business Go to all the poshest places With their familiar faces Terminate all signs of weakness [Chorus] Oh, all for the sake All for the sake Of a foolish love [Verse 2] I will take my coffee black Never snack Hang with the wolves who are sheepish Flow through the veins of town Always frown Me and my mistress, the princess [Chorus] Oh, all for the sake All for the sake Of a foolish love Yeah, yeah [Verse 2] So the day Noah's ark floats down park My eyes will be simply glazed over Or better yet I'll wear shades on sunless days And when the sun's out, I'll stay in and slumber [Chorus] Oh, all for the sake All for the sake Of a foolish love For the sake All for the sake Of a foolish love [Outro] Cause I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless I don't want to smell you and lose my senses And smile in slow motion With eyes in love
