Love Foolosophy
Jamiroquai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Honey, honey, looks like a superstar, yeah yeah
She' got a promise of love-struck fascination, ooh
What am I to do? How am I to know who you are?
When this love, foolosophy is killing
Previous illusions that (I'm a love fool)
I had in my mind about you (I'm a love fool)
Tragically compelling and (I'm a love fool)
My love, it means nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool
She shimmers like a California sunset
Lady lady, glitters but there's no gold
She carries sweetly infectious magic formulas
I'm so delirious, is she that serious?
Or is she bringing me on, I've been waiting so long
And this love, foolosophy is killing
Previous illusions that (I'm a love fool)
I had in my mind about you (I'm a love fool)
Seems so true, all the lies you're telling
Tragically compelling and (I'm a love fool)
My love, it means nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool
I don't want the world I want you, yeah
I don't want the world I want you, you
I don't want the world I want you
I want you
I want you (I want you)
I want you
I want you (I want you)
Love, foolosophy is killing
Previous illusions that
I had in my mind about you (I'm a love fool)
Seems so true, all the lies you're telling
Tragically compelling and (I'm a love fool)
My love, it means nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool (I'm a love fool)
My love it means nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool (I'm a love fool)
You're my love foolosophy
Don't you see it's killing me? Ooh?
You're my love foolosophy, yeah
Don't you see it's killing me? Oh
I'm a love fool

Lady lady, glitters but there's no gold
You may appear glamorous and valuable, but upon closer inspection, there is no substance to your character or intentions
She carries sweetly infectious magic formulas
You possess an alluring charm and charisma that is captivating
I'm so delirious, is she that serious?
I am feeling excited and disoriented, wondering if you are truly invested in this romantic situation
Or is she bringing me on, I've been waiting so long
I am uncertain if you are being truthful and genuine, or if you are simply leading me on after a long period of waiting
I don't want the world I want you, yeah
I am not interested in any other people or things, I solely desire you
I want you
I desire you and need you in my life
You're my love foolosophy
You are the source of my romantic confusion and turmoil
Don't you see it's killing me? Ooh?
