Why Do Fools Fall In Love
Diana Ross and the Supremes Lyrics

For so long we share each other's lives
We have been together for a very long time and have shared our lives with each other

Gave up everything to keep love satisfied
We have made sacrifices to keep our love strong and satisfied

Baby the air that I breathe you will take when you leave
You are so important to me that I will feel like I cannot breathe without you when you leave

All because of this something small
Our love was destroyed by something that seemed small and insignificant

Like the day I missed your call
Our love was destroyed by something as simple as me missing your call

I tried to get in touch with you
I made an effort to reach out to you

When I finally did you said we're through
When I finally spoke to you, you told me that our relationship was over

Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Why do we have to love someone to the point where it hurts us to understand the pain of heartbreak?

Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
Why do we spend so much time building trust in a relationship, only to tear it down later?

When it takes so long to make it
It takes time and effort to build a strong relationship

And no time at all to break it off
However, it only takes a moment to break a relationship apart

Then you walked away I just stood there numb
When you left, I was in shock and couldn't move or react

I had nothing to say
I didn't know what to say or how to react to your departure

Into the night you walked away with my life
When you left, it felt like you took my whole life with you

And feeling almost half my size
I felt so small and insignificant after you left

I looked up and the heaven's eyes
I looked up to the skies, seeking comfort and guidance

Smile was gone we used to see
I felt like even the heavens were not smiling upon our relationship

She knew that you were standing there with me
The heavens knew that you and I were together

One day up then the next day down
Our relationship was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs

Love will keep you going like a merry go round
Love can keep a relationship going like a never-ending merry-go-round

To keep you hurting, hurting
However, it can also cause you immense pain and hurt

You both tried night and day from the start
We both worked tirelessly to make our relationship work from the beginning

To keep your love from falling apart
We did everything we could to prevent our love from falling apart

Then all at once you left one out
But in the end, we neglected one important aspect that caused our relationship to fall apart

And love walks out the door
And with that, our love walked out of the door

You're searching baby, for something else
Now, you are looking for something else to make you happy

You'll never find that thing you have before
But you will never find a love like ours again
