Rufus Wainwright - Foolish Love lyrics

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?

So I will walk without care, beat my snare,

Look like a man who means business

Go to all the poshest places with the familiar faces

Terminate all sings of weakness

Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love

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

Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love, yeah yeah

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

Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love

For the sake, all for the sake of a foolish love

'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
