Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to say I'll never let a woman break my heart, no
And I used to say I'll never let no girl leave me scarred
I was so, so proud
'Cause in the midst of us breaking up
Ooh baby I talk like, I was so, so tough
Now I can run up all day, call you out your name, girl
But at the end of the day, I'm just a fool for you baby
I'm just a fool for you baby
Alright now baby, yeah
And I don't mind
I used to tell my friends no girl could ever break me down
Oh no, not I
No girl is sweet enough to ever turn my world around
And you changed my mind
'Cause every time I walk out of the door
Ooh baby, I yell out, I ain't coming back no more
Hey now I can run up all day, call you out your name, girl
But at the end of the day, I'm just a fool for you baby
Oh yeah, girl
I'm just a fool for you baby
Alright now baby, hey
And I don't mind, I don't mind
And I don't care what my friends have to say
Baby they can't stop me from feeling this way, oh no
Whatever the cost, I'm willing to pay
'Cause I can't see me walking away
I'm your baby girl
Oh yeah, whoa, no na na, baby
Na na baby, baby, baby
I'm just a fool for you baby
A fool for you girl
Alright now baby, yeah
And I don't mind, 'cause your loving's just that good baby
Ooh, my friends say I'm crazy
But I'm crazy about you baby
Yes I am, I guess it's my honey
That's why her love keeps me running, for you baby
I'm a fool
I'm a fool, yeah
For my baby, baby, baby
