The song "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" by Diana Ross explores the mysteries and complexities of love. It questions why people, even when seemingly foolish, continue to fall in love and endure the emotional ups and downs that come with it. The lyrics reflect the vulnerability, irrationality, and risks of love, highlighting that love can sometimes make people blind to its pitfalls and cause them to act foolishly. Diana Ross's soulful rendition brings out the emotional depth of these themes, making the song resonate as a timeless classic about the universal experience of love and heartache. The song also emphasizes a yearning to understand why love happens despite its difficulties and potential for heartbreak. Originally sung by Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers in 1955, Diana Ross's 1981 version helped introduce the song to a new generation.
