2. Not only this Smooth Jazz band shares same band name, they have a song called "Millenium"(2006) that is exactly same title (intentionally misspelled) as the other Incognito's (Jazz Funk) song on their album "100° and Rising"(1995), plus the logo resembles in font. The title "Every Day"(2006) on the album Street Smarts exactly alike in titles (when read) with the other Incognito's famous tune "Everyday"(1995). They are often tagged totec radio. Also mis-tagged by fans as bluey where there's no link to Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick himself. r00ts & t4lk1n l0ud tags also used, that could mislead fans to the Bluey's famous tunes like "Roots" & "Talkin' Loud".

Don´t Be A Fool
Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't be a fool to yourself
You can't put the blame on no one else
She gave you all that she had
And there's nothing more
Oh no, there's nothing left to give
You can't put the blame on no one else
You're losing the best thing in your life
You're watching her go
Don't you know you're watching her go
So if you think it's like the last time
And that she'll come backonce more
Chorus:
You're only fooling yourself
Only fooling yourself
[No one to blame but yourself]
You're only fooling yourself
Only fooling yourself
[No one to blame]
Now take a look at yourself
What's left of the man that she once knew?
She thinks that he's been gone so long
She thinks he's not coming back
Never coming back
There's no one to blame but yourself
You took all the love that she could give
Never gave much in return
[Gave her much in return]
She's hurt and you're through
Oh, she's got nothing left to give you
So if you think it's like the last time
And that she'll come backonce more
Chorus
The lyrics to Incognito's song "Don't Be A Fool" are expressing regret from the perspective of a man who has pushed away his lover. The song touches on themes of self-deception, taking responsibility for one's actions, and the painful consequences of losing someone you love. The chorus "You're only fooling yourself, no one to blame but yourself" emphasizes the idea that the man's mistakes are solely his own, and he cannot shift the blame to anyone else.
The first verse speaks to the fact that the man's lover gave all she could to him, but he failed to reciprocate that love. He is left with nothing more to give, and the relationship is at an end. The second verse continues this theme, with the man realizing too late that he has lost the best thing that ever happened to him. He watches her leave, knowing that it is his fault and he cannot try to bring her back again.
The bridge of the song urges the man to take a hard look at himself and assess what is left of the person that his lover once knew. He has become someone unrecognizable, and it is clear that she does not expect him to return to the person he used to be. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, driving home the message that the man's actions have consequences, and he cannot escape them.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't be a fool to yourself
Do not deceive or mislead yourself
You can't put the blame on no one else
You cannot hold anyone else responsible
She gave you all that she had
She offered you her all
And there's nothing more
There is no more left to offer
Oh no, there's nothing left to give
No further room to give
You're losing the best thing in your life
You are about to lose the most precious thing to you
You're watching her go
You are observing her depart
Don't you know you're watching her go
Are you not aware of her departure
You're only fooling yourself
You are tricking nobody but yourself
No one to blame but yourself
You are solely responsible, with no other culprit
Now take a look at yourself
Examine yourself introspectively
What's left of the man that she once knew?
What remains of the man she once recognized?
She thinks that he's been gone so long
She assumes he left a long time ago
She thinks he's not coming back
She perceives that he will not return
Never coming back
He will not return, ever
You took all the love that she could give
You received all the affection she could extend
Never gave much in return
You hardly gave anything back
She's hurt and you're through
You have lost her, and she is in pain
Oh, she's got nothing left to give you
She has nothing left to offer you
