I Am The Fool
Love's Folly: Embracing the Unkind Journey
Lyrics
Look at little rodeo rider
Observing a young girl riding in a rodeo
Little girl you ride so fast
Commenting on her speed and skill
That's a rough track you're travelin' on
Noting the difficulty and challenges in her life
Hope you can make your ride last
Wishing her success and endurance
Sweet as apple blossom
Comparing her sweetness to apple blossoms
Bright as a clear blue bird
Describing her brightness and purity
Them demons is hard on your trail
Referencing personal struggles and challenges chasing her
Oh when you, you try to hide behind love
When seeking refuge in love, troubles persist
I am the fool, baby who loves you
Self-identification as someone deeply in love with her
You can run as fast, as far as you can
Her attempts to escape her past are futile
You're never going to escape from your past
Highlighting the inescapability of her past
Sometimes your past is all you ever have
The past remains a significant part of her identity
I am the fool, baby who loves you
Reiterating love for her despite her struggles
I really begged for you
Expressing a strong desire for her
I was not planning to
Unexpectedly falling for her
But out of the blue
Commenting on being overwhelmed by emotions
I was out of my mind
Feeling out of control due to emotions
Nothing can stop love, nobody can top love
Belief in the unstoppable nature of love
But is this love?
Doubting if the experienced emotion is genuine love
Honey it's so unkind
Feeling hurt by the perceived unkindness of love
Unkind love
I am the fool, baby who loves you
Repeated declaration of love despite uncertainties
I am the fool, baby who cares
Expressing care and concern for her
I could stand here on your back porch
Willingness to stay with her for an extended time
For ever and a day
Willingness to endure her anger or resentment
And listen to you curse my name
Ready to face criticism or disdain from her
Till you hair turns gray
Willing to stay committed despite time passing
Take care and keep your chin up
Offering encouragement and support
Know you're gonna be just fine
Assuring her of a positive future
Gonna miss your sweet, sweet loving
Expressing regret at losing her affection
It's your loving cause I just ain't fine
Feeling incomplete without her love
I am the fool, baby who loves you
Repeating the declaration of being a fool in love
I am the fool, baby who cares
