Lust For Love
Belinda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I look into your eyes I see
Everything I was meant to be
If I'm a fool for love
I don't care, I don't care

When we're together, all I know
There is a place I need to go
If I'm a fool for love
I don't care, I don't care

If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
I don't care
I don't care

If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
I don't care
I don't care

Visions of moonlight in the park
We kissed and danced away in the dark
If I'm a fool for love
I don't care, I don't care

If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
I don't care
I don't care

If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
I don't care
I don't care

Was it wrong to show you all I feel?
No, I think that what does us in
Is the love we're afraid to reveal

Driving midnight, highway one
Love is the ocean, you're the one
If I'm a fool for love
I don't care, I don't care

If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
I don't care
I don't care

If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
If I'm a fool for love
I don't care
I don't care

I don't care
I don't care

I don't care
I don't care





I don't care
I don't care

Overall Meaning

In Belinda Carlisle’s song “Fool For Love,” she expresses that the love she has for someone is all-encompassing, and she is willing to be seen as foolish for it. The first two lines of the chorus express that she sees herself in the eyes of her lover and that it reminds her of everything she is meant to be. This love gives her purpose, and she is willing to go anywhere as long as they are together. She acknowledges that society might judge their love and considers herself a “fool for love,” but she doesn’t care because the love she has is worth the risk. The song's lyrics are an ode to the unbounded feeling of being in love and unpack the idea that the risks of love are worth taking.


Furthermore, Belinda describes their time spent together in the moonlit park where they kissed and danced away in the dark. These moments encapsulate the joys of being romantically involved with someone whom you adore. But, the third verse offers a new perspective on love, mentioning that the fear of revealing love is what does people in. Belinda encourages showing all of one’s emotions, even if it could result in being judged by others.  She concludes with her enthusiastic declaration of her love and desire to be with her special someone even if it means that she must be a “fool for love.”

Nice to hear her say it’s her favourite song from that album. It’s mine too, and have always thought it’s very underrated and under appreciated.

Michael Hammer

Belinda Carlisle. Never forget driving from Pittsburgh to Philly to see this. What a great performance she did that night. Was so lucky to have been there. We were all in love with her.

OMG u were there? I always wanted to ask someone who was actually there in this concert..... can u tell me 2 things? Were the songs in this order itself or were some rearranged for the released VHS concert version ? And 2, how was the weather on that day? was it hot being May 1988?

i think it was watching this tour on TV I really started to appreciate the talented Belinda May Carlisle, I thought wow what a great voice, and she's lovely as well. This is my favourite track she does alone or with the GoGos. Happy to say have my ticket to see her again on the 8th October in Nottingham England.
