Fool Hearted Woman
Fool-Hearted Woman: Embracing Love's Wild Ride
Lyrics
My, oh my, ain't you a sight for sore eyes
Expressing surprise or admiration at the sight of someone very appealing
In this drop-dead summer heat
Referring to intense, scorching summer weather
Are you just a mirage, or the futile act of a hopeful plot, or have you come to tame the beast?
Questioning if the person is real or just a hopeful but unlikely possibility, or if they've come to change the singer's wild behavior
Don't you know my bills are hardly ever paid on time
Indicating financial struggles and difficulties in managing bills
And the dates are always cheap?
Suggesting that the singer's romantic outings or experiences are not lavish
It'll take a fool-hearted woman, love an old road-dog like me
Stating that it requires a brave, daring woman to love someone with the singer's lifestyle
Being mine ain't easy, you'll definitely lose some sleep
Implying that being in a relationship with the singer is challenging and may cause worry
It's the type of 24-hour, thankless job that's always gettin' done for free
Comparing the relationship to a demanding, unrewarded job that consumes a lot of time
So tell me, honey are you game for that?
Asking if the person is willing to accept the challenges of the singer's lifestyle
For spending nights alone wonderin' where I'm at
Highlighting the potential loneliness the partner might feel due to the singer's absence
If I've showered in a week?
Suggesting that the singer's personal hygiene might not be consistent due to their lifestyle
Don't you know my bills are hardly ever paid on time
Reiterating the financial struggles and the lack of extravagant outings
And the dates are always cheap?
Repeating the idea that the singer's dates are not extravagant or costly
It'll take a fool-hearted woman, love an old road-dog like me
Reaffirming that it takes a brave and daring woman to love the singer
Never once in my life had I considered thinkin' twice bout this life of sin I lead
Reflecting on the singer's past disregard for consequences and moral values
All the good girls I've left high and dry, all them second chances I rolled right by
Regretting leaving behind good women and missed opportunities for change
Babe, you might be just what I need
Suggesting that the person might be the positive change the singer needs
You don't seem to mind my bills are never paid on time
Noting that the person doesn't seem to mind the singer's financial struggles
And you're just as cheap as me
Implying that the person's approach to dates or spending is similar to the singer's
It'll take a fool-hearted woman
Reiterating the need for a daring and brave woman to love the singer
Just a fool-hearted woman
Emphasizing the necessity of a brave woman once more
Can you be that fool-hearted woman, love an old road-dog like me?
Questioning if the person can indeed be that brave woman to love the singer
