fOol fOr YoU
Zayn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This love is tainted
I need you and I hate it
You're caught between a dream and a movie scene
In a way, you know what I mean
When the dark turns to mist, I just can't resist it

'Cause I'm a fool for you
And the things you do
I'm a fool for you
And the things, the things you do
The things you do
The things you do

When you're looking like this
I just can't resist it
I know sometimes I hide it
But I can't this time, 'cause it's gonna defeat me
But you won't believe me
Believe me

'Cause I'm a fool for you
And the things you do
I'm a fool for you, and the things
The things you do

I know, I know
Given the chance I'd do it again
'Cause I can't help myself
'Cause I can't stop myself
I just love being a fool for you

'Cause I'm a fool for you
And the things you do
I'm a fool for you, and the things
The things you do

This love is tainted

Overall Meaning

In "fOol fOr YoU," Zayn sings about a complicated love. The opening line, "This love is tainted," suggests that the relationship is not perfect and may have some flaws. He sings about needing the person he loves but also hating that he needs them, which implies a sense of dependency that he resents. Meanwhile, the person he loves is "caught between a dream and a movie scene," suggesting they may not be fully present in the relationship or may have unrealistic expectations. Despite this, Zayn cannot resist the allure of the relationship when "the dark turns to mist."


Zayn admits that he is a "fool" for this person and "the things [they] do." He cannot resist them when they look a certain way, and although he sometimes hides his feelings, he cannot do so this time because they are too strong. He acknowledges that the relationship may not be healthy or sustainable, but he would do it all over again if given the chance because he cannot help himself.


Overall, "fOol fOr YoU" portrays a complicated love that is not without its flaws and challenges. Zayn recognizes that he may be a fool for loving this person and that the relationship may not be perfect, but his feelings are too strong to resist.
