Foolish Heart Lyrics by Mary Martin

One Touch of Venus

1944

[VENUS]
Will you tell me how these things happen?
Have I trusted in love too much?
When did the magic vanish?
Have I somehow lost my touch?
How gay the world could be
Could I love you, could he love me?

Love shouldn't be serious, should it?
You meet, you kiss, you start
I fancied that I understood it
I forgot my foolish heart

Love can't be illogical, can it?
You kiss, you smile, you part
It happens the way that you plan it
If you hush your foolish heart

Poor foolish heart
Crying for one who ignores you
Poor foolish heart
Flying from one who adores you

Ah, love used to touch me so lightly
My heart now betrays me so
I would dance with a new lover nightly
But my foolish heart says no

Ah, love used to touch me so lightly
My heart now betrays me so
I would dance with a new lover nightly
But my foolish heart says no
