Baby I'm a Fool
Unveiling Love's Illusions
Lyrics
How was I to know that this was always
Uncertainty about the true nature of the situation
Only just a little game to you?
Realization that the relationship was perceived as a game by the other person
All the time I felt you gave your heart
Belief that the partner gave their heart sincerely
I thought that I would do the same for you
Expectation of reciprocation in giving one's heart
Tell the truth, I think I should have
Regret for not seeing the signs of a potential breakup
Seen it coming from a mile away
Recognition of the missed cues and hints in the relationship
When the words you say are
Questioning the sincerity of the partner's words
Baby, I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love?
Admission of being a fool who finds it appealing to fall in love
If I gave a thought to fascination
Reflection on the consequences of fascination without thought
I would know it wasn't right to care
Acknowledgment that caring might not be the right choice
Logic doesn't seem to mind that
Observation that logic overlooks the irrationality of a love affair
I am fascinated by the love affair
Affection despite being captivated by the romantic involvement
Still my heart would benefit from
Desire for occasional tenderness despite reservations
A little tenderness from time to time, but never mind
Acceptance of the lack of tenderness with indifference
'Cause baby, I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love
Reiteration of being a fool who finds love attractive
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Non-verbal expression emphasizing the previous line
Mm-mm-mm
Continuation of non-verbal expression
Yeah
Confirmation or agreement with the preceding lines
Baby, I should hold on just a moment
Advice to pause and evaluate the situation before committing
And be sure it's not for vanity
Emphasis on the importance of genuine feelings, not vanity
Look me in the eye and tell me
Request for honesty about love not being rooted in insanity
Love is never based upon insanity, yeah
Affirmation that love should be rational and not driven by madness
Even when my heart is beating
Love persists even when time is limited
Hurry up the moment's fleeting
Feeling the urgency of the passing moment
Kiss me now, don't ask me how
Encouragement to seize the opportunity for a kiss without overthinking
'Cause baby, I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall
Reiteration of being a fool who finds it cool to fall in love
Baby, I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall
Repetition of the theme of being a fool attracted to love
And I would never tell if you became a fool and fell in love
Assurance of keeping the partner's vulnerability secret if they fall in love
