Love's Resilience: A Fool's Devotion in Charley Pride's Melody
Lyrics
When all your loves have ended
Reflecting on the end of all romantic relationships.
When all your friends have flown
Considering the departure of all friends.
Who'll be around to want you
Questioning who will still desire companionship.
When all your loves have gone
Anticipating a time when all loves are gone.
Only a fool would do it
Stating that only a fool would endure such a situation.
After the way you've done
Expressing dissatisfaction with past actions.
How many fools would have you
Pondering how many fools would be willing to be with the person.
I know one
Asserting that the speaker is one such fool.
This fool keeps wondering
Wondering about the reasons for falling in love.
Why he fell in love at all
Expressing confusion or regret about being in love.
But you might need this fool
Suggesting that the person might need the speaker's support.
Around in case you fall
Offering assistance in case of a fall or failure.
After the party's over
Referring to the conclusion of a social event or relationship.
And you've had your fill of fun
Indicating the end of enjoyment and pleasure.
If you need a fool to forgive you
Expressing willingness to forgive and provide support.
I know one
Reiterating the speaker's availability as a fool.
You never know, you might be lonely
Suggesting the possibility of loneliness in the future.
When all your loves have missed
Imagining a scenario where all loves have been unsuccessful.
It wouldn't hurt to keep
Advising to keep an extra fool for company.
An extra fool on your list
Highlighting the importance of having backup support.
After your heart's been broken
Referring to a time when the person's heart is broken.
And it needs a place to run
Describing a need for a place to seek comfort.
If you'll take a fool who loves you
Offering love and support to the person.
I know one
Reiterating the speaker's identity as a fool who loves.
Yes, I know one
Affirming again that the speaker knows they are one such fool.
I know one
Emphasizing that the speaker knows they are available.
