Guess I'm a Fool
Hugh Laurie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You told me you were leaving
After all we've been through
Guess I'm fool falling in love with you
There ain't no use in crying
Do what you have to do
Guess I'm a fool falling in love with you.

[Chorus:]
You told me that the kind of love we have
Will last for a million years
I believe everything you said
You felt my heart with tears.
So long pretty baby

Go break some other heart in two
Guess I'm a fool falling in love with you.

[Chorus:]
You told me that the kind of love we have
Will last for a million years
I believe everything you said
You felt my heart with tears.
So long pretty baby
Go break some other heart in two
Guess I'm a fool falling in love with you.

Falling in love with you,




Falling in love with you
Falling, falling in love with you.

You can really feel the sincerity in his voice; he's been there, he's seen it and probably done it. That's what makes him stand out: He tells a story, and the emotion he puts into his songs, make you believe it's a true story he's telling.

@Jesus De Nazaret Doesn't mean he can't relate to the song, why do you think music is loved at all besides "this is catchy"?

It's because the emotion is a natural side effect of telling a true story.

You know, there's this thing called "acting"
