I'm a Fool to Want You
Yearning Hearts: Embracing a Love That Defies Reason
Lyrics
I'm a fool to want you
I acknowledge my foolishness in desiring you.
I'm a fool to want you
Reiteration of feeling foolish for wanting you.
To want a love that can't be true
Expressing the desire for a love that cannot be genuine or sincere.
A love that's there for others too
Acknowledging that the love sought is also available to others.
I'm a fool to hold you
Admitting foolishness in holding onto you.
Such a fool to hold you
Reiterating the folly of holding onto you.
To seek a kiss not mine alone
Expressing the foolish pursuit of a kiss that is not exclusively mine.
To share a kiss the devil has known
Acknowledging the sharing of a kiss with a negative connotation, perhaps hinting at unfaithfulness.
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Repeated instances of intending to leave you.
Time and time again I went away
Consistently going away despite previous intentions.
Then would come the time when I would need you
Describing a recurring pattern where the need for you arises.
And once again these words I'd have to say
Anticipating the need to express the same words again due to the cyclical nature of the relationship.
I'm a fool to want you

Pity me, I need you

I know it's wrong
Acknowledging the perceived wrongness of the situation.
It must be wrong
Stating the belief that it must be wrong to want you.
But right or wrong
Expressing the inability to function, whether right or wrong, without you.
I can't get along

Without you
Emphasizing the dependence on you for emotional well-being.
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Repeated instances of intending to leave you.
Time and time again I went away
Consistently going away despite previous intentions.
Then would come the time when I would need you

And once again these words I'd have to say
Anticipating the need to express the same words again due to the cyclical nature of the relationship.
