Music Video
Love, love, love makes me do foolish things Sit alone by the phone, a phone that never rings Hoping to hear you say you love me still Knowing you never will Love, love, love has made a fool of me Got me doin' things, things that shouldn't be Listening for the sound of your knock on my door Knowing that sweet sound will be no more Funny how precious memories linger on So long after you've gone Oh precious memories that only make me cry But I keep holdin' on, oh why do I? Oh, because... Love, love, love makes me do these things Speak your name softly each night, or holding your picture tight When you took my heart, you took my soul & It's far beyond control Funny how precious memories linger on So long after you've gone Oh precious memories that only make me cry But I keep holdin' on, oh why do I? Oh, because... Love, love, love makes me do these things Love, love, love sadness it brings
