Songwriter: Henry Shead Yorke Wilbon

Love can make a fool of you
You do anything it wants you to

Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night
When your baby don't treat you right

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you
You know love makes fools of men
But you don't care, you're gonna try again

Time goes by, it's a-passin' fast
You think true love has come at last
But by and by you're gonna find
Crazy love has made you blind

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
