[Sommerville:]
Why do birds sing so gay?/
/(Wah-wah-wah, oo-ooo-wah-wah.)

And lovers await the break of day?/
/(Wah, oo-ooo-wah-wah.)
Why do they fall in la-ove?/

/(Wah, oo-ooo.)
Why does the rain fall from up above?/
/(Wah-wah-wah, oo-ooo-wah-wah.)

Why do fools fall in love?/
/(Wah, oo-ooo-wah-wah.)
Why do they fall in la-ove?/

/(Wah, oo-ooo. Ooo-wah, ooo-wah.)

[Verse 1:]

Love is a losing game./(Ahhh.)
Love can put people to shame./

I know of a fool you see,
For that fool is me./

Tell me whyyyyyyyyyyyyy./
