Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Foxy lady you really are the greatest show in town
You want to play
You wanna eat your cake and have it your way
You got it easy and you don't give a damn
Foolin' around you just keep foolin' around with me
Keep on foolin' around with me baby
Walking down the street people watching closely
Such a tease you can turn on any man you want (de do de do)
You masquerade
You're the catch of the season every night and day
You you you don't have any time for me
You just keep foolin' around with me
Yes you do you do to me
Foolin' around (de do) - everywhere I go you're the only only only sexy lady
Foolin' around (de do de do) all you do is keep me hanging around
You're really so hard to please yeah
You've gotta really watch that baby!
Yeah yeah wow

You just you just foolin' around with me
You just you just foolin' around with me
You keep foolin' you keep foolin'
Hey foolin' foolin' foolin' foolin' foolin' yeah
Want to play but you always want it all your own way
You got it easy but you don't give a damn

The song "Foolin' Around" by Freddie Mercury is a playful and satirical track that is meant to be about a woman who is flirtatious and enjoys playing games with the men around her. The lyrics describe this woman as "the catch of the season every night and day" and "the only sexy lady everywhere I go." She is a "foxy lady" who knows how to turn on any man she wants, and she enjoys the power she has over them. However, despite her beauty and charm, she is not interested in genuine connection or emotional intimacy with any of her admirers. Instead, she wants to "eat her cake and have it her way" and is content to simply "fool around" with whoever catches her eye.
Throughout the song, the lyrics highlight the frustration and confusion that come with pursuing a woman who is only interested in superficial attention. The singer describes himself as a "fool" who is unable to resist her charms and keeps coming back for more, even though he knows that he's being toyed with. The tone of the song is playful and lighthearted, but it also carries an undercurrent of bitterness and disappointment. The chorus repeats the phrase "foolin' around" over and over again, emphasizing the cyclical nature of these kinds of relationships.
Overall, "Foolin' Around" is a catchy and entertaining song that touches on some important themes of love, attraction, and power dynamics in relationships. It showcases Freddie Mercury's signature wit and playfulness, while also hinting at some of the darker emotions that can come with romantic entanglements.

When I first listened to this song, I felt so happy, another beautiful land expanding in front of me. It can be one of my favourite, even more than those hits of his, I love those too ofc. Just every time I study his song, I feel oh so interesting, think he must have put so much thinking in it.
When I settle down and have time, I think one year later, I'll spend enough time, every day, through years to come, to practice my ears, to figure out how those chords and melodies are. I really feel happy when I learn his music, or that kind of music, where you put enough dedication to it.
Music has always been the one thing I want to do, but ofc I have to find a living and manage to give myself a peaceful life first. I wish I could've known Freddie's music earlier, so I could recognize what I like earlier. But nothing is too late only if you are determined to do it. Learning is never late.
