Fool's Paradise
Dr. Donuts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was dazzled by your kisses - blinded by your charms
I was lost in a fool's paradise
Good and lost in a fool's paradise
When you told me that you loved me - I gave my heart to you
And I wondered if there could be any truth in love so new
I was lost - in a fool's paradise
The whole world was my kingdom
And you the gem in my crown
Then I saw you glance at a new romance
And my love came tumbling down
Though you treat me kind of coolish - and may never let me know
That you think I'm being foolish because I love you so
I'll still got lost in a fool's paradise
Lost with you in a fool's paradise

Line by Line Meaning
You took me up to heaven - when you took me in your arms
I felt immense joy when you embraced me
I was dazzled by your kisses - blinded by your charms
Your affection and charisma captured me completely
I was lost in a fool's paradise
I was deluded in a temporary dream of happiness and love
Good and lost in a fool's paradise
Free-falling deep in a misleading world of my own
When you told me that you loved me - I gave my heart to you
Your words of affection convinced me to give you my heart
And I wondered if there could be any truth in love so new
I questioned if our love was genuine due to how quickly it developed
The whole world was my kingdom
I felt invincible and in control of my life
And you the gem in my crown
You were the most precious thing in my life
Then I saw you glance at a new romance
I noticed you showing interest in someone else
And my love came tumbling down
My world of love and happiness crumbled to pieces
Though you treat me kind of coolish - and may never let me know
Although you act cold towards me and may not admit it
That you think I'm being foolish because I love you so
You perceive my love for you as misguided and naive
I'll still got lost in a fool's paradise
Despite everything, I can't help but be caught up in an illusion of love
Lost with you in a fool's paradise
Trapped in a temporary fantasy world with you
