Why Do People Fall in Love?

Why do people fall in love? Don't we know love is full of dangers?
Letting loose our foolish hearts in this world full of perfect strangers
Maybe this time you will find the moon will treat you kinder
Yes, I'm sure that I recall that's the reason people fall

Love is needing to belong right or wrong, when you feel the fire
Love is living in mid-air young and rare, on a sky-high wire
Hoping this time it will last you feel your heart beat faster
Yes, I'm sure that I recall that's the reason people fall in love

Taking chances you would never take
When wide awake, you risk it all
Half afraid he'll only break your heart
Still you will close your eyes and simply fall

Why do people fall in love? Are we fools with no hope of winning?
Or perhaps we always see one last chance for a new beginning
Holding on and letting go but never really knowing
Well, I guess that after all that's the reason people fall in love
