You're No Fool
Unveiling Deceit: Navigating Betrayal in 'You're No Fool'
Lyrics
Is he out with your cousin again?
Questioning if someone's partner is spending time with the cousin.
Don't you know where your cousin's been?
Expressing concern about not knowing the whereabouts or activities of the cousin.
I heard he's running with a prostitute
Rumors suggest the partner is associating with a prostitute.
Oh, your aunt's so upset
Someone's aunt is very upset about a situation.
And your man is keeping secrets
The partner is hiding information or keeping secrets.
Your sister's telling you to cut him off
Advising to end the relationship, coming from the speaker's sister.
But your sister, she should talk.
Suggesting that the sister's advice may not be reliable due to her own troubled relationship.
She's been married to the same chain gang
Implies the sister has been in a difficult or problematic relationship for a long time.
Oh, your sisters will never change
Indicating that certain behaviors or patterns in family members won't change.
And the husbands will play their games
Suggesting that men in relationships will continue their questionable behavior.
Oh no,
Expressing concern or dismay.
But you're no fool
Acknowledgment that the person being addressed is not foolish.
Oh no,
Reiterating that the person addressed is not foolish.
You're no fool
I saw your lover at the Venice Inn
Observation of the lover's presence at a specific location, meeting an ex-girlfriend for dinner.
Having dinner with his ex-girlfriend
Confirmation of the lover's meeting with an ex-partner.
I asked your cousin if your man's alright
Asking the cousin about the well-being of the partner.
"He's not so bad
Reported response about the partner not being too bad and being all that someone has.
And he's all that she has;
Justifying why there might not be a fight despite the partner's actions.
So why fight?"
Oh no,
Reiteration that the person addressed is not foolish.
But you're no fool
Reaffirming that the person addressed is not foolish despite the circumstances.
Oh, you're no fool
You're no, you know, you're no fool
Repeated emphasis that the person addressed is not foolish.
You're no, you know, you're no fool
Continued emphasis that the person addressed is not foolish.
You're no, you know, you're no fool
Further emphasis that the person addressed is not foolish.
