Fools Rush in Lyrics

Fools Rush In where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care

Fools Rush In where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

Fools Rush In where wise men never, never, never go
Eh, but wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know
Ahh, when we met, girl, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

Just open up your heart and let this fool rush on in
Just open up your heart because I am coming in
Open up your heart and let this fool rush in
