Fool's Paradise
Love's Illusion: Jesse Johnson's Heartfelt Journey in a Fool's Paradise
Lyrics
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the way you hurt me all the time
There is widespread discussion about how you consistently cause me pain.
Everybody's talkin', girl, ooh, you blow my mind
People are talking, and the impact of your actions amazes and confounds me.
Everybody knows, pretty baby, how much I loved you so
It's common knowledge, my dear, how deeply I used to love you.
That's why, girl, I gotta let you know
Because of this love, I feel compelled to inform you of my feelings.
Oh, I'm livin' in a fool's paradise
I find myself living in a state of delusion or false happiness.
I am, I'm livin' in a fool's paradise for your love, girl
Specifically, it's a fool's paradise I inhabit, all for the sake of your love.
Sometimes I think you just usin' me for my car
At times, I suspect you might be using me for my material possessions, like my car.
But that's alright, honey 'cause I know you're not goin' too far
Despite this, I'm okay with it because I believe you won't go too far away from me.
You know I don't care anymore, girl, I put my pride aside
My indifference to your actions reveals a willingness to sacrifice my pride.
I'm so in love with you, girl, I just wanna make you mine
I'm deeply in love with you and desire to make you mine.
I'm livin' in a fool's paradise
Reiteration of living in a delusional happiness or "fool's paradise."
Girl, I'm gonna have to let you know, I gotta
Expressing the need to convey a crucial message or realization.
I'm livin' in a fool's paradise, I am
Emphasizing the continued existence within the illusory happiness.
I know I'm gonna make you mine, now
Confident assertion of the intention to make you mine.
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the way you play with my mind
Public discussion about how you manipulate my thoughts and emotions.
Everybody's worried about the way, girl, I'm wastin' my time
Concerns raised about the perceived waste of time on our relationship.
You know I don't care, girl, 'coz I gotta a lotta time to lose
Despite concerns, I don't mind because I have plenty of time to spare.
That's why I'm playin' my cards, baby, 'coz I gots to win you
Actively pursuing you by playing my cards strategically to win your affection.
I'm livin' in a fool's paradise
Repetition of living in a delusional happiness or "fool's paradise."
I'm livin' in a fool's paradise
Continued acknowledgment of residing in this false sense of joy.
I'm livin' in a fool's paradise, oh Lord, now
Reiteration of living in a delusional happiness or "fool's paradise," seeking divine guidance.
