Fool
林宥嘉 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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!
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
So I cry I pray and I beg
Love me love me
Say that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
Lately I have desperately pondered,
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not lead to 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 I pray and I beg
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
So I cry I pray and I beg
Love me love me
Say that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
Love me love me
Fool me fool me
Love me love me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
These lyrics are from the song "Fool" by 林宥嘉 (Yoga Lin). The song explores the emotions of someone who realizes that their partner no longer loves them. The singer is aware of the problem in their relationship and understands that there may be nothing they can do to save it. Despite the advice of others, who suggest they should move on and find someone who deserves their love, the singer still holds on to the hope that their partner truly loves them.
The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and vulnerability. The singer yearns for their partner to love them and is willing to beg and plead for them to stay. They are consumed by thoughts of their partner, unable to care about anything else. The line "I can't care 'bout anything but you" emphasizes the all-consuming nature of their love and illustrates the pain they feel when they are not loved in return.
The lyrics also touch upon the internal struggle of the singer. They question what they could have done differently to make their partner stay, indicating a sense of self-doubt and self-blame. The lyrics suggest that rationality and reason do not provide solutions in matters of the heart. Instead, the singer finds themselves lost in confusion, only hoping that their partner doesn't leave.
Overall, "Fool" captures the heartbreak and desperation of someone who loves deeply but finds themselves in a one-sided relationship. The lyrics express the conflict between the desire to be loved and the fear of being abandoned.

Dear I fear we're facing a problem
My dear, I am concerned that we have encountered a significant issue
You love me no longer I know
I am aware that your love for me has ceased to exist
And maybe there is nothing that I can do
Perhaps there are no actions I can take to change the situation
To make you do
To make you feel otherwise
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
My mother advises me against pursuing this any further
That I ought to stick to another man
She suggests that I should be with someone else
A man that surely deserves me
A man who undoubtedly deserves my love
But I think you do!
But deep inside, I believe it is you who deserves me
So I cry I pray and I beg
I find myself sobbing, praying, and pleading
Love me love me
Express your love for me
Say that you love me
Tell me sincerely that you love me
Fool me fool me
Deceive me if necessary
Go on and fool me
Continue to deceive and mislead me
Pretend that you love me
Act as if you have deep affection for me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you no longer need me
Just say that you need me
If only you could admit that you still require my presence
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
My emotions are solely focused on you, leaving no room for anything else
Lately I have desperately pondered,
Recently, I have desperately contemplated
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
Throughout sleepless nights, I contemplate and question
What I could have done in another way
What alternative actions I could have taken
To make you stay
In order to convince you to remain by my side
Reason will not lead to solution
Logical thinking alone will not bring about a resolution
I will end up lost in confusion
I will ultimately become deeply perplexed and disoriented
I don't care if you really care
It doesn't matter to me if you genuinely care about me
As long as you don't go
The most important thing to me is that you do not leave
Love me love me
Express your love for me
Say that you love me
Tell me sincerely that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you no longer need me
Just say that you need me
If only you could admit that you still require my presence
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
My emotions are solely focused on you, leaving no room for anything else
Love me love me
Express your love for me
Fool me fool me
Deceive me if necessary
Love me love me
Express your love for me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
My emotions are solely focused on you, leaving no room for anything else
