  • Why do fools fall in love?
    Why do birds sing so gay?
    And lovers await the break of day
    Why do they fall in love?
    Why does the rain fall from above?
    Why do fools fall in love?
    Why do they fall in love?
    Love is a losing game
    Love can a be shame
    I know of a fool
    You see
    For that fool is me
    Tell me why, why, why
    Tell me why
    Why do birds sing so gay?
    And lovers await the break of day?
    Why do they fall in love?
    Why does my heart skip a crazy beat?
    Before I know it will reach defeat!
    Tell me why, why, why
    Why do fools fall in love?

    I hope Frankie knows that his music is still appreciated by people in 2023 :) I will always love his work and it makes me sad that he passed in '68 :/ I m 27 and I hate this world we now live in those were the days were people were normal

    Frankie was very talented, gifted as he moved so smoothly to the beats of his music. I'm sorry his life ended in tragedy. To speak negative comments regarding Mr Lynn's is pathetic. Everyone falls short. Take the beam from your eye before judging the specks in Frankies' life.....R.I.P Mr. Lymon!!!!!

    Franklin Joseph "Frankie" Lymon (30 de septiembre de 1942 - 27 de febrero de 1968) fue un cantante y compositor afroamericano de doo wop, rock and roll y rhythm and blues. Se le recuerda principalmente por ser el cantante-líder de la famosa y pionera banda neoyorquina The Teenagers, los cuales tuvieron éxito con la canción "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?". Cuando tenía 25 años se le encontró muerto en el cuarto de baño de su abuela, debido a una sobredosis de heroína.​ Su vida inspiró la película Why Do Fools Fall In Love? (1998).

    At that time, Frankie was with Zola and staying with her in Los Angeles at her home, the marriage was a publicity stunt so that Frankie could get famous again, he was also using drugs and it’s so sad because we never expected him to go down the path of destruction we really wanted Frankie to make the music and make the greatest comeback he ever done but sometimes the devil can make us do the wrong choices, and we end up thinking “I want to do something that’s wrong and not right.” Well dear you had Frankie, been addicted to heroin since 15 and dead at 25, but I wondered what was he thinking when he was going to take his last heroin dope, did he think I’m going to commit this act, or did he just think I can’t do this anymore, either way it’s still sad & crazy when you think about it

    He was just a kid with no guidance. I learned about him through my mom. She loves her oldie goldies and Frankie was still is one of them. I'd always hear people talk about the ugly little man that sung like a lady. 🤣 But I think he was kinda cute, and the ladies loved him of course. He lost his appeal close to the end as we can see hear. Poor thing. May he rest in peace. ❤
