"Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)" is a 1965 pop ballad by Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas. A rare ballad for the group, whose forte was reportedly uptempo soul dance numbers including "Dancing in the Street" and "Nowhere to Run", the b-side to the group's single, "You've Been in Love Too Long", although the song only peaked at #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #22 on the Billboard Hot R&B singles chart, it was number one on many American urban radio playlists.The song, written and produced by Holland–Dozier–Holland, has the narrator explain why love makes her do things she later regrets. Cash Box described it as a "plaintive, slow-shufflin’ heart-throbber with a nostalgic years-back sound."

  • "Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)" is een nummer van de Amerikaanse soulgroep Martha & The Vandellas. Ondanks dat het nummer niet als A-kant van een single uitgebracht werd, bereikte het toch de hitlijsten in de Verenigde Staten. Dit kwam doordat veel van de Amerikaanse DJ's "Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)" prefereerden boven de A-kant "You've Been in Love Too Long". Hierdoor moesten de twee nummers speeltijd op de radio delen, wat mede oorzaak van de slechts #36 positie op de poplijst van "You've Been in Love Too Long". Alhoewel "Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)" het op de poplijst met een #70 notering het niet beter deed dan de A-kant, was het op de R&B-lijst succesvoller. Daar werd het namelijk een #22 hit op.
