Fool for You Anyway
Foreigner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little more everyday
And I know if I kissed you
You'd be comin' back home to stay
'Cause I know I was wrong
But how long do I have to pay
You know you belong here beside me
I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway
Well I cried for you so long
The river of tears ran dry
And I tried to be so strong
But grew weaker as time went by
You know your love left a mark on me
I don't think it will fade away
I sit here and wait 'til you come home
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway
You know your love left a mark on me
I don't think it will fade away
I sit here and wait 'til you come home
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
Yes I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway
Yes I'm a fool for you anyway
A fool for you anyway
A fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway

Well I miss you, Honey
I feel a deep void in my life without you by my side
A little more everyday
As each day passes, the intensity of my longing for you increases
And I know if I kissed you
I am certain that if I could kiss you once again,
You'd be comin' back home to stay
you would come back to me and never leave again
'Cause I know I was wrong
I acknowledge that I made a mistake
But how long do I have to pay
I wonder how much longer I will suffer the consequences of my actions
You know you belong here beside me
I am aware that you should be here with me
I'm a fool for you anyway
Despite everything, I still love you deeply
Well I cried for you so long
I have shed countless tears over your absence
The river of tears ran dry
I have cried so much that I can no longer cry anymore
And I tried to be so strong
I attempted to be tough and not show my emotions
But grew weaker as time went by
But as time passed, I became increasingly vulnerable and powerless
You know your love left a mark on me
Your love had a profound impact on me
I don't think it will fade away
I don't believe that the memories of our love will ever disappear
I sit here and wait 'til you come home
I patiently wait for your return
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
Because I still love you wholeheartedly
Yes I'm a fool for you anyway
Yes, I admit it, I am still hopelessly in love with you
Fool for you anyway
No matter how irrational it may seem, I am still in love with you
Fool for you anyway
Regardless of anything else, I still love you
Yes I'm a fool for you anyway
Yes, it's true, I very much still love you
A fool for you anyway
At the end of the day, I am still in love with you, despite everything else
A fool for you anyway
No matter what has happened, I still love you deeply
I'm a fool for you anyway
I admit it, I will always love you, no matter what
