Merle Haggard
Love Makes a Fool of Us All
Morning moves shadows across a room with clothes scattered
Into a bed where two lovers lie entwined
The one that he's tied to is the one that he’s lied to
And his home and family seldom crosses his mind
But love makes a fool of us all
It makes liars and cheaters and beggars who crawl
And sometimes even the strongest will fall
Look at us now, love makes a fool of us all
Dreams of forever are just words in a letter
When goodbye is all that they say
She packs up a few things and slips out of her ring
And into the arms of a man twice her age
Love makes a fool of us all
It makes liars and cheaters and beggars that crawl
And sometimes even the strongest will fall
Look at us now, love makes a fool of us all
