What a Fool Believes
Glenn Lewis Lyrics

You're only gonna lose your best friend
If you try to intervene in your friend's relationship and tell them what you see, you will most likely damage your friendship and potentially lose your best friend.

Tell 'em what you see girl
Encouraging someone to share their observations about a situation they are concerned about.

Much better off not meddling
Advising someone to avoid getting involved in situations they are not responsible for or that may cause harm to themselves or others.

With what a fool believes
Clarifying that the situation being discussed involves a person who is acting foolishly by believing in something that is not true.

They much rather be blind
People who are foolishly in love are often not willing to see reality and instead prefer to ignore red flags and warning signs.

Black it out their mind
Similarly to the line above, advising that people who are blindly in love will often ignore any negative aspects of their relationship and focus only on the positive.

They only wanna see love
People in love often only want to see the good and positive aspects of the person they are with, even if there are significant flaws or warning signs.

You only gonna get right back once
If you try to confront someone about their behavior or try to intervene in their relationship, they are likely to become defensive and react negatively.

He doesn't hush he screams girl
In situations where someone is acting foolishly in a relationship, they may become angry or aggressive if they are confronted or challenged about their actions.

And then you gonna find yourself all alone without a team, oh girl
If someone gets involved in a situation that they do not fully understand or that they do not have the power to change, they may end up isolated or alone.

I know that you're concerned
Acknowledging that the person being addressed is worried or cares about the situation at hand.

But you got to let her learn
Advising someone to step back and let the person in the situation learn on their own, rather than trying to control the situation or force someone to see things their way.

I can't compete with what a fool believes
Stating that it is impossible to convince someone who is foolishly in love to see the situation realistically or logically.

You know we got another trick up the sleeve
Although there may be other ways to approach the situation, they are unlikely to be successful if the person involved is not willing to listen or see things from a different perspective.

But you don't need
Assuring someone that they do not need to involve themselves in a situation that will not benefit them or others involved.

What a fool believes, a fool believes
Repeating the idea that someone who is foolishly in love will only see what they want to see and will ignore warning signs or red flags.

They come creeping in at a quarter of 3
Referencing the idea that people who are up late at night may become more emotional or vulnerable, which may cause them to act in foolish ways.

Thinking you're sleeping
Fools may believe that others are not aware of their behavior and may try to take advantage of someone who seems unaware or asleep.

I know that you're concerned
Reiterating that the person being addressed cares about the situation and wants to help in some way.

But you got to let him learn
Advising that it is important to allow someone to make their own mistakes and learn from them, rather than trying to control or prevent them from making mistakes.

'Cause you can't compete with what a fool believes
Repeating the idea that it is impossible to convince someone who is foolishly in love to see the situation realistically or logically.

Take a good look in the mirror
Encouraging someone to examine their own behavior and motivations before trying to intervene in someone else's situation.

Tell me what you see
Asking someone to share their insights or observations about a situation, based on their own experiences and perspectives.

Avoiding your own reflection
Acknowledging that it is sometimes difficult to admit our own faults or biases when trying to understand a situation.

Of what a fool believes
Again referring to the situation at hand, where someone is foolishly in love and acting in ways that are potentially harmful or negative.

A crooked little smile
Suggesting that someone is not being honest with themselves or others about their motivations or feelings in a situation.

I think you're in denial
Concluding that the person being addressed may be denying the reality of a situation or their own role in it.
