Lovefool

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing that I can do
To make you do
Mama tells me, I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do
So I cry and I pray, and I beg for you to
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
Love me, love me
Fool me, fool me
Love me, love me
Fool me, fool me
Lately, I have desperately pondered
Spent my nights awake and I wondered
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not reach a solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go
So I cry, and I pray, and I beg for you to
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
Love me, love me
Fool me, fool me
Love me, love me
Fool me, fool me
Oh, I cry, and I pray, and I beg for you to love me
I cry, and I pray, and I beg for you to love me
Love me, love me
Fool me, fool me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Love me, love me (for you to love me)
Fool me, fool me (for you to love me)
Love me, love me (for you to love me)
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
The overall theme of the song "Lovefool" by twocolors is unrequited love and how it can lead to desperation and confusion. The lyrics are sung from the point of view of a person who is aware that their partner no longer loves them, yet they are still holding on to hope and begging for their love to be reciprocated. The lines "Love me, love me, say that you love me, fool me, fool me, go on and fool me" reflect the desperation and desire for their partner's affection, even though they are aware that they might be deceived.
The verses describe the inner turmoil and confusion that the singer is feeling, as they try to figure out why their partner no longer loves them, and what they could have done differently to make them stay. They also seem to be getting contradictory advice from their mother, telling them to find someone who deserves them, while the singer still believes that their partner is the one for them. The chorus repeats the same phrases over and over, emphasizing the desperation and need for love and attention.
Overall, "Lovefool" is a powerful portrayal of how unrequited love can lead to deep emotional pain and desperation, and how it can be difficult to let go of someone that we love even when we know they don't feel the same way.
