Love Makes A Fool Of The Wise ============================= by: The Tom Russell Band written by: Tom Russell / Carl Brouse (capo 3rd fret) I was always running scared it's true I was always running back to you Running never takes you home You're running wild and all alone And lost you pay the cost You held my heart right in your hand You always seemed to understand I played it right I played it wrong I played around with love too long Love's a game that anyone can lose Chorus: Love breaks the rules A kind man turns cruel What begins a dream will end a lie Love makes a fool of the wise Old friends don't seem to hang around They whisper that she's leaving town They say that I was cruel They say I played the perfect fool A fool that never learned the ways of love Repeat Chorus Twice (end) Love makes a fool of the wise From the album Road to Bayamon 1989 Rounder Records
