Foolishly in Love
I think I'm a little bit in love with you
Words I dread to say, so I sing to you
I wish no one else was around
I wish all the lights would go down
And you would see me shine in the dark
I wish we were already drunk
So that the truth would come out
And you would hold me and not hold back
And if tonight we had a free pass
To love with no conscience
To lead with our hearts
Would you fall foolishly in love?
I think you’re a little bit in love with me
Words you dread to say, so just sing to me
Weren't you the one who always said
Too many times you let life go by?
Well now's the time to take the wheel and drive
'Cause tonight we have a free pass
To love with no conscience
To lead with our hearts
And to fall foolishly in love
Foolishly in love
Foolishly in love
You watch me every morning running around
Like you got all the time in the world
Am I just pouring heart-shaped coffee
For someone who wanted a gin?
You watch me every morning standing by the doorway
Leaving the bus too soon
Well are we just planting flowers by the freeway
Painting our motel room?
'Cause tonight we have a free pass
To love with no conscience
To lead with our hearts
And to fall foolishly in love
Foolishly in love
Foolishly in love
Foolishly in love
