Foolin' Around
Fool's Journey: Love Betrayed and Redemption Found
Lyrics
Know that you've been foolin' around on me
Expressing awareness of the partner's infidelity.
Right from the start
Indicating that the cheating has been happening since the beginning of the relationship.
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
Deciding to reclaim both the engagement ring and the emotional investment (heart).
And when you're tired of foolin' around with two or three
Suggesting that the partner may get tired of cheating with multiple people.
Come on home and fool around with me.
Inviting the partner to return home and be faithful.
I wasn't foolin' around the day I said I do
Stating commitment on the wedding day, regretting not fooling around.
But many a night I wished that I had been a-foolin' too
Expressing occasional desire for infidelity due to unhappiness.
I know it's foolish taking all this misery
Acknowledging the foolishness of enduring pain for the partner.
But when it's you a fool I'll always be
Declaring a persistent willingness to be a fool for the partner.
I know that you've been foolin' around on me
Reiterating the awareness of the partner's unfaithfulness.
Right from the start
Reinforcing that the cheating has been ongoing since the beginning.
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
Reclaiming both the engagement ring and emotional investment, again.
And when you're tired of foolin' around with two or three
Suggesting the partner might grow weary of multiple affairs.
Come on home and fool around with me.
Renewing the invitation for the partner to return and be faithful.
So honey fool around. You know right where I'm at
Encouraging the partner to fool around but reminding of the speaker's constant availability.
Don't worry if I'm lonesome 'cause I'm used to that
Expressing familiarity with loneliness due to the partner's actions.
And when you're tire of foolin' 'round with two or three
Anticipating the partner's eventual dissatisfaction with multiple affairs.
Then come on home and fool around with me
Reiterating the invitation for the partner to return and be faithful.
I know that you've been foolin' around on me
Affirming the knowledge of ongoing infidelity.
Right from the start
Repeating that the cheating has been happening since the relationship's start.
So I'll take back my ring and I'll take back my heart
Reclaiming both the engagement ring and emotional investment once more.
And when you're tire of foolin' around with two or three
Indicating the potential fatigue of the partner from multiple affairs.
Come on home and fool around with me
Issuing a final invitation for the partner to return and be faithful.
Yeah, come on home and fool around with me
Reiterating the closing invitation for the partner to come home and be faithful.
