Fools Rush In
Fool for Love: Daryl Hall's Rush into Passion
Lyrics
Just why do I want you baby
Questioning the desire for the person being addressed ("baby")
Anyone but a fool would let it be
Suggests that only a foolish person would pursue this desire
Go on anywhere you take me
Willingness to follow the person anywhere they lead
I don't want to know what's pulling me
Not wanting to understand the force driving the attraction
If I fall so deep
Expresses the depth of emotional involvement or falling in love
With my eyes so wide
Suggests being fully aware despite the emotional involvement
Then I hope that feeling isn't only mine
Hoping the intense feeling is mutual and not one-sided
Fools rush in
Stating the adage that foolish people act impulsively
Where the wise don't go
Implying that wise individuals avoid such impulsive actions
Fools rush in
Reiteration of impulsive behavior driven by love
And I'm a fool for love
Admitting being a fool for the sake of love
Fools rush in
Repeats the idea of impulsive actions driven by emotion
But the wise don't know
Highlighting the lack of understanding by those who are wise
Fools rush in
Reiterating the impulsive nature of love
Safe advice
Suggesting cautious advice against impulsive actions in love
I can't let it stop me
Expressing determination to continue despite cautionary advice
Love don't want to know the reason why
Love's disregard for rational explanations or justifications
If we fall so deep
Reiterating the depth of emotional involvement in love
With our eyes so wide
Emphasizing awareness despite being deeply in love
Then I know the feeling isn't
Suggesting a shared feeling rather than an individual experience
Only mine
Hopeful that the intense feeling is mutual
Fools rush in
Reiterating the idea that impulsive actions are characteristic of fools
Where the wise don't go
Restating the avoidance of impulsive behavior by the wise
Fools rush in
Repetition of the impulsive nature of love
And I'm a fool for love
Reaffirming being a fool for love
Fools rush in
Reiteration of the lack of understanding by the wise in matters of love
But the wise don't know
Highlighting the impulsiveness characteristic of love
Fools rush in
Reiterating the idea that impulsive actions are common in love
