Fools Fall in Love
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fools give their hearts much too soon
Just put in two bars of stardust
Just hang out one silly moon
Oh! They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool
Fools fall in love just like schoolgirls
Blinded by rose colored dreams
They build their castles on wishes
With only rainbows for beams
Oh! They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool
All right!
They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool
Take a look at a brand new fool
The lyrics in Elvis Presley's song "Fools Fall In Love" describe the impulsiveness and naivety of falling in love. The singer warns against hurrying into love and giving away their heart too quickly. The imagery of "two bars of stardust" and "one silly moon" suggests that the love is based on fleeting and superficial things rather than a solid foundation.
The chorus repeats the line "They've got their love torches burning, when they should be playing it cool" which reinforces the idea that the fools are too eager and not thinking logically. The second verse compares these fools to schoolgirls who daydream about their future with rose-colored glasses but not with a realistic approach. This can lead to disappointment and heartache when reality sets in.
The final line "Take a look at a brand new fool" implies that the singer has fallen into the same trap of foolish love as the people he warns against. The song highlights the irony that even those who claim to know better can be foolish in matters of the heart.
