Funny How
Rachel Stevens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take these fools away from me
Funny how I always know before it's over
Deep down it's time to go
The night got cold, it's almost three
Take these fools away from me
Is an extra-ordinary love
I can taste, I can feel
Electricity from up above
What I want, what I need
Oh, a never-ending style
But it seems, it's in my dreams
Every time I look into his eyes
I'm getting high on emotion
One little kiss, I'm awake
I want to give you devotion
So don't walk away
Funny how I always know before it's over
Deep down it's time to go
The night got cold, it's almost three
Take these fools away from me
I want a love like lovers on the run
I won't take just any one
My heart got tired, it's way past three
Take these fools away from me
What I want, what I need
Is an ordinary wonderland
When I'm down on my knees
Something beautiful to hold my hand
I'm getting high on emotion
One little kiss, I'm awake
I want to give you devotion
So don't walk away
Funny how I always know before it's over
Deep down it's time to go
The night got cold, it's almost three
Take these fools away from me
I want a love like lovers on the run
I won't take just any one
My heart got tired, it's way past three
Take these fools away from me
Night got cold, it's almost three
Take these fools away from me
Funny how I always know before it's over
Deep down it's time to go
The night got cold, it's almost three
Take these fools away from me
I want a love like lovers on the run
I won't take just any one
My heart got tired, it's way past three
Take these fools away from me
The lyrics in Rachel Stevens's song "Funny How" capture the intense emotions associated with a love that is both inspiring and frustrating. It begins with the singer requesting to take these fools away from her, suggesting a desire to break away from unwanted company. This sentiment seems to be tied to the dream of having an extraordinary love. She desires a man who can make her feel electric, whose love is constant, and whose eyes can give her a high. The lyrics convey that she wants to give herself completely to the man she loves, but she fears he might not reciprocate these feelings.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's knowledge that things are not right in her current situation. Despite this, she continues to cling to hope that she will find someone who loves her fully. The ultimate desire of the singer is for a love like lovers on the run. She is looking for something wild, something that will keep her heart beating. She is tired of settling for less and wants something that is extraordinary, yet sustainable. The repeated phrase of "Take these fools away from me" serves as a metaphorical expression of the singer's desire to eliminate the obstacles in her love life and find the extraordinary love she longs for.
