## Lyrics
[verse]
Why does my heart go skippin' when she walks into the room
Why does the whole wide world feel bright when it was gloom
I'm just a kid who doesn't know the reason why
But something in my chest keeps reaching for the sky

[chorus]
Why, tell me why, do we fall so fast
Why, tell me why, does the feeling never last
Why do we chase a thing that breaks us in the end
Why, oh why, do fools fall for love again

[verse]
My friends all tell me I'm too young to understand
Say that love's a river runnin' out across the sand
But every time she smiles I forget what they all said
And I go tumblin' down that river anyway instead

[chorus]
Why, tell me why, do we fall so fast
Why, tell me why, does the feeling never last
Why do we chase a thing that breaks us in the end
Why, oh why, do fools fall for love again

[bridge]
Voices rising high up to the falsetto sky
Askin' every grown-up, askin' every passerby
Nobody's got an answer, nobody's got a clue
Guess that's just the mystery of me and you

[chorus]
Why, tell me why, do we fall so fast
Why, tell me why, does the feeling never last
Why do we chase a thing that breaks us in the end
Why, oh why, do fools fall for love again
