Fool
Jeremy and Rebecca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I just wishful thinking
Believing every word that comes from you
My breath am I just holding
Hoping that again you will come through
Some say I'm dreaming
So let me dream
CHORUS
If I'm a fool - wh-o-oa
That's all right with me
If lovin' you, oh, makes me crazy
I guess I'm gonna be, a fool
VERSE 2
Why would I now question
To satisfy a vocal few
You've given me your heart and
Who am I to do any less for you
Some say I'm drowning
So let me drown
CHORUS
If I'm a fool - wh-o-oa
That's all right with me
If lovin' you, oh, makes me crazy
I guess I'm gonna be
BRIDGE
You've never given me reason to doubt
Why should I start now, ooh
Though some laugh at my devotion
I won't throw the towel in
I'm hangin' on until the end
It's no delusion that I'm in
Well, I'm no fool
CHORUS
But that's all right with me
If lovin' you makes me crazy
I guess I'm gonna be
A fool - wh-o-oa
And that's all right with me
If lovin' you makes me crazy
I guess I'm gonna be
Well, I guess I'm gonna be, a fool
Well I ain't no fool, ain't no fool
Ain't no fool for lovin' you, no, no
Well, I ain't no fool, ain't no fool
Ain't no fool for lovin' you
No, no, no, no
The song Fool by Jeremy and Rebecca is an ode to the intensity of love that sometimes makes us seem like a fool in front of others. The singer questions whether her belief in the words of her lover is just wishful thinking and wonders if she is a fool for holding her breath, hoping that her lover will come through. Despite what others may say, she chooses to continue dreaming and loving wholeheartedly.
In the second verse, the singer refuses to question her lover's sincerity, as some may suggest. She acknowledges that her lover has given her his heart, and she owes him nothing less than complete devotion. She chooses to drown in love rather than give into the naysayers who laugh at her.
In the bridge, the singer declares her unwavering faith in her lover, who has never given her a reason to doubt him. She acknowledges that some may find her devotion laughable, but that won't stop her from hanging on until the end. She firmly believes that her love for him is not a delusion, and she is no fool.
The chorus repeats the message that loving someone intensely may make you seem like a fool in the eyes of others, but it's alright with the singer. She is willing to embrace the label if it means loving her partner with her whole heart.
Overall, Fool is a powerful song about the strength and courage it takes to love someone unconditionally, despite what others say. It's a reminder that love is worth any perceived foolishness.

Am I just wishful thinking
Am I unrealistic in thinking you truly love me?
Believing every word that comes from you
Trusting everything you say to me
My breath am I just holding
Is my anticipation held so tightly I can't breathe?
Hoping that again you will come through
Expecting you to keep your promises and come back to me
Some say I'm dreaming
Others think I'm being unrealistic
So let me dream
But I choose to continue having faith in you despite their opinions
If I'm a fool - wh-o-oa
If I'm considered foolish for being with you
That's all right with me
I'm okay with that and still want to be with you
Why would I now question
Why would I doubt you now?
To satisfy a vocal few
To please those who criticize us
You've given me your heart and
You have shown me that you love me
Who am I to do any less for you
So, who would I be to not trust you the same way?
Some say I'm drowning
Some say I'm too invested in this relationship
So let me drown
But I'm willing to take that risk for you
You've never given me reason to doubt
You have always been faithful and true to me

So why should I begin to mistrust you now?
Though some laugh at my devotion
Although others make fun of how dedicated I am to you
I won't throw the towel in
I won't give up on our relationship
I'm hangin' on until the end
I'll remain faithful to you until the very end
It's no delusion that I'm in
It's not a false belief that I'm in love with you
Well, I'm no fool
I know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it
But that's all right with me
Even if people call me a fool for loving you, I'm okay with that
If lovin' you makes me crazy
If being in love with you drives me to do irrational things
I guess I'm gonna be
I'll accept it and still love you
Well I ain't no fool, ain't no fool
I'm not foolish or stupid
Ain't no fool for lovin' you, no, no
I'm not a fool for choosing to love you
Well, I ain't no fool, ain't no fool
I'm not a fool even if others think so
Ain't no fool for lovin' you
I love you and I know it's not foolish to do so
No, no, no, no
That's just how it is, and I'm not going to change it for anyone
