What a pretty little girl - does she know how to lie
Does she know how to cheat - and could I gravel at her feet
Could I put her on a pedestal and love her way too much

And would she hunger for the ecstacy in someone elses touch

[Chorus]

I gotta know - cause I'm the leader of the fool's parade
I gotta know _ does love really happen that way
And if I get to singing - will it allways be the blues

And allways wishing I was wearing someone elses shoes
And if love is really s'posed to be a two-way street
Well ya know that its news to me


Would she share our deepest secrets with everyone in town
And Only laugh the hardest when she knows I'm really down

And then seduce and introduce me to her wicked ways
Or is she sweet and innocent like everybody says


[chorus]
I gotta know - cause I'm the leader of the fool's parade
I gotta know - is love really just a charade

And when I wake-up in my sleep at night will I always want to scream
And is there nothing better than a heartache for a dream
And if love is really s'posed to be a two-way street

Well ya know that its news to me
I gotta know-cause I'm the leader of the fool's parade
I gotta know - does love really happen that way.
