I've been checking out the links and can't find a source yet for the lyrics to T.R. Ritchie's brilliant, hilarious song, "Why Does Love Make You Stupid?". Can anyone direct me to such a site, or post the lyrics? I remember the chorus, just can't recall all the rather involved, wordy verses. The chorus goes:

"Why does love make you stupid?

How can your heart be so cruel?

Watch out for that rascal, Cupid:

You may think you're smart,

But when he shoots his dart

You may find yourself playing the fool."

When sung, this song has a magical power to invoke protection against the haunting monsters of solitude. So until I get the chance to go and be "stupid" again, can someone please help me find this "charming" song? I'd be very much obliged...

Why not go to the writer himself? Contact T.R. at: [e-mail] I'm sure he can give you the lyrics or direct you to a recording.
