Coco Montoya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't somebody please, please tell me what's wrong
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
He's got me smilin' when I should be ashamed
Got me laughing when my heart is in pain
Oh no, I must be a fool
But I'll do anything you ask me to
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man
Without my man I don't wanna live
You think I'm lying but I'm telling you like it is
He's got my nose open and that's no lie
And I, I'm gonna keep him satisfied
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man
A wave of action speaks louder than words
The truest thing that I ever heard
I trust my man and all that he do
And I, and I'll do anything he wants me to do
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man
In Coco Montoya's song "Fool in Love," the singer is trying to figure out why she is feeling such intense emotions while being mistreated by her partner. The lyrics suggest that the partner is a good man but doesn't always treat her the way she deserves. The singer acknowledges that she is a fool for being in love, but she can't help it. She takes the good with the bad and is willing to do anything for her partner, even if it causes her pain.
The singer's confusion and willingness to endure mistreatment are common themes in love songs, but "Fool in Love" has a unique perspective. The singer acknowledges that she may be ashamed and in pain, but her love for her partner overrides those feelings. She believes that actions speak louder than words and trusts her partner completely. Despite everything, she knows that she can't help being in love and is willing to face the ups and downs that come with it.
