Just a Fool
Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep it coming til I don't remember at all
How bad it hurts when you're gone (na na na)
Turn the music up a little bit louder
Just gotta get past the midnight hour
Maybe tomorrow it won't
Be this hard
Who am I kidding
I know what I'm missing
I had my heart set on you
But nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel
(Yeah yeah yeah)
And I
Waited and waited so long
For someone who'd never come home
It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah yeah)
I'm just a fool
(Yeah)
I said that I don't care
I'd walk away whatever
And I tell myself we were bad together (uh huh)
But that's just me trying to move on
With out you
But who am I kidding
I know what I'm missing
Hey, I had my heart set on you
But nothing else hurts like you do
Who know that love was so cruel
(Yeah yeah yeah)
And I
Waited and waited so long
For someone who'd never come home
It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah yeah)
I'm just a fool
For holding on to something that
Is never ever gonna come back
I can't accept that it's lost
I should have let it go
Held my tongue
Can't fight the motion
Cause now everything's so wrong
Wrong, wrong
I'm just a fool
A fool for you
I'm just a fool
Hey, I had my heart set on you
And nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel
(Yeah yeah yeah)
And I
Waited and waited so long
For someone who'd never come home
It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah yeah)
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
It's my fault to think you'll be true
(Yeah yeah yeah)
I'm just a fool
In Christina Aguilera's Just a Fool, the singer takes shots of whiskey to forget how bad it hurts when her lover is gone. She turns the music up, hoping to distract herself and make it through the night. She knows it won't be easy, even though she tries to convince herself otherwise by saying they were bad together. The truth is, she had her heart set on this person, and nothing hurts as much as their absence. She waited for someone who would never come home, and now she's just a fool who held onto something that would never return. It's her fault for believing that her lover would be true to her.
The song is heartbreaking, as it speaks to the universal experience of holding on to something that's already gone. The singer is in pain, but she can't help hoping that things will change. She tries to numb the pain with alcohol, but deep down, she knows that won't solve anything. The lyrics are honest and raw, and Christina Aguilera's vocals add to the emotional weight of the song.
