Heart And Song

Apologies to those who feel the quotes have been overused. It is intentional here. (I slip every now and then!) So those who hate that stuff, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!


Indeed did Tina nail it right
"What's Love Got To Do With It"
cause and effect, potential and kinetic
a scientific axiom that the church can't contest

Frankie Lymon asked "Why Do Fools Fall In Love"
sigh and then I will reply
Momma always told me,
"god looks out for fools and babies"

Not like you have to get pummeled a thousand times
as TP said "losers get lucky sometime"
or go with Cetera crooning sadly
"Even A Fool Can See"

Those knocks usually need to be self-experienced
just think of your friends who just dove right in
yeah like what brother McDonald said
"What A Fool Believes"

Now we exclude the "Fool On The Hill"
who actually got it right
is it to much to ask, tell me Pete
that we "Won't Get Fooled Again"?

So that "Foolish Heart" that Steve Perry
tells us to watch for
can be chained as tight as can be
but what weakens it is what it craves

So hopefully the redemption like in Bonnie's case
will be found in "The Nick Of Time"
As for me well I defer to mister blue-eyed soul himself,
Bobby Caldwell

"The next time I fall in love
Ill know better what to do..."
