Love Makes a Fool of Everyone

No one can make you unhappy
Like the one to whom you’ve given your heart
Or bare you up and protect you
When everything else falls apart

We all stand naked before you
With stretch marks and dimples on our thighs
Hoping that we’ve found a refuge
To last for the rest of our lives

Love makes a fool of everyone
It’s a kind of fool you don’t mind to be

Perhaps it’s foolish
There’s nothing so foolish as love
To bind your purpose
To something so foolish as love

Maybe
The foolish things are designed
To confound the selfish mind

Love makes a fool of everyone
It’s a kind of fool you don’t mind to be
