Foolish Love Lyrics - Rufus Wainwright - Rufus Wainwright

I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless 

I don't want to smell you and lose my senses 

And smile in slow motion with eyes in love 

I twist like a corkscrew, the sweetness rising 

I drink from the bottle weeping 

Why won't you last? 

Why can't you last? 

So I will walk without care, beat my snare 

Look like a man who means business 

Go to all the poshest places with the familiar faces 

Terminate all signs of weakness

Chorus: 

Oh, all for the sake, all for the sake 

Of a foolish love 

I will take my coffee black, never snack 

Hang with the wolves who are sheepish 

Flow through the veins of town, always frown 

Me and my mistress the princess 

Chorus 

So the day Noah's Ark floats down Park 

My eyes will be simply glazed over 

Or better yet 

I'll wear shades on sunless days 

And when the sun's out, I'll stay in and slumber 

Photos 

Chorus 

cause I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless 

I don't want to smell you and lose my senses 

And smile in slow motion with eyes in love
