Fool For Love
Nadine Coyle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you every day and I bide my time
So much I try and say but it don't feel right
Lying here face-to-face, any fool could tell
We're tryna play a game we both know too well

I'm a fool for love
You don't even really care
You don't even give a damn what I'm thinking
Fool for love
Everybody sing it loud
Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing
Fool for love
You don't even really care
You don't even give a damn what I'm thinking
Fool for love
Everybody sing it loud
Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing

Fool for love
You don't even really care
You don't even give a damn what I'm thinking
Fool for love
Everybody sing it loud
Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing
Everybody sing it, fool for love
You don't even really care
You don't even give a damn what I'm thinking
Fool for love
Everybody sing it loud
Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing
Everybody sing it

Well, we go back and forth like it's all the same
Something's been happening and I can't think straight
Don't try to turn away because there's no use
And I don't understand what you've got to prove

I'm a fool for love
You don't even really care
You don't even give a damn what I'm thinking
Fool for love
Everybody sing it loud
Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing
Everybody sing it, fool for love
You don't even really care
You don't even give a damn what I'm thinking
Fool for love
Everybody sing it loud
Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing
Everybody sing it

Everybody sing it
Everybody sing it

Bring me in, bring me in
I know what's wrong
Bring me in, bring me in
I know what's wrong
Bring me in, bring me in
I know what's wrong
Bring me in, bring me in
I know what's wrong

Everybody sing it, fool for love
You don't even really care
You don't even give a damn what I'm thinking
Fool for love
Everybody sing it loud
Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing
Everybody sing it, fool for love
You don't even really care
You don't even give a damn what I'm thinking
Fool for love
Everybody sing it loud
Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing
Everybody sing it, fool for love
You don't even really care
You don't even give a damn what I'm thinking
Fool for love
Everybody sing it loud
Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing
Everybody sing it, fool for love
You don't even really care
You don't even give a damn what I'm thinking
Fool for love
Everybody sing it loud




Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing
Everybody sing it

Overall Meaning

The song "Fool For Love" is about a one-sided relationship where one person is deeply in love, while the other is indifferent. Nadine Coyle's lyrics describe the frustration of being in a relationship where the other person does not care about their feelings, and they end up feeling like a fool for chasing after someone who does not reciprocate their love. The chorus of "Fool For Love" is a message to others experiencing a similar situation—everyone should sing it loud, indicating that many people can relate to the feelings of unrequited love.


Nadine sings, "Lying here face-to-face, any fool could tell. We're tryna play a game we both know too well." This suggests that both people are aware that their relationship is one-sided, yet they continue to play along even though it causes pain. The repetition of the phrase "Now you're hearing the alarm bells ringing" throughout the song suggests that the singer has had enough and is ready to move on from the relationship.


In summary, "Fool For Love" is a relatable song about the pain of unrequited love and the frustration of chasing after someone who doesn't care.

Underrated Talent

Nadine can out sing pretty much everyone that's in the charts right now

J91 green

Just wish she was in the charts and commercially successful!

Antonio Montana

This 100% needs radio play! This has ‘summer anthem’ written all over it! Nadine always brings the vocals and all of her releases since ‘insatiable’ have been hits! She deserves for her songs to be successful and to be played on radio!
