Fool To Cry_
Scubba feat. Moana Lyrics

When I come home baby
Upon returning home after a long night of work

And I've been working all night long
After a very tiring night of work

I put my daughter on my knee, and she say
Holding his daughter close, she notices something is off

Daddy what's wrong
His daughter asking him what's troubling him

I put my head on her shoulder
He rests his head on his daughter's shoulder

She whispers in my ear so sweet
His daughter trying to console him with soothing words

You know what she says?
She tells him something unexpected but truly heartfelt

Daddy you're a fool to cry
She tells him that crying isn't worth it and he shouldn't feel sad

You're a fool to cry
His daughter reiterates that crying won't solve anything and calls him out on it

And it makes me wonder why
Him questioning why he feels so down when his daughter's words should have made him feel better

You know, I got a woman
The singer revealing that he has a significant other

And she lives in the poor part of town
His girlfriend lives in the less affluent part of the city

And I go see her sometimes
He occasionally visits her

And we make love, so fine
Their physical intimacy is exceptional

She says, tell me all your troubles
His girlfriend encourages him to confide in her

You know what she says, she says
She provides more reassuring words

Daddy you're a fool to cry
She shares his daughter's sentiment that he need not feel sad

Daddy you're a fool to cry
His girlfriend calls him out on his emotions for a second time

And it makes me wonder why
The lyrics reiterate his confusion and questioning of why he can't snap out of his sadness

Even my friends say to me sometimes
His friends also note his sadness

And make out like I don't understand them
He feigns ignorance to their concern

They say, daddy you're a fool to cry
His friends also call him out on his sadness, perhaps paralleling the previous lines where his daughter and girlfriend did the same

And it makes me wonder why
This line reiterates his disbelief and confusion regarding his sadness

I'm a fool baby
The singer confesses to feeling like a fool

I'm a certified fool, now
He truly identifies with this feeling of foolishness

Gotta tell ya, baby
The singer now feels the need to voice his feelings aloud

Certified fool for ya, mama, come on
He is reaffirming to his significant other that he will still be there for her despite his insecurities

I'm a fool
In conclusion, the song's title line is repeated as a powerful expression of his thoughts and emotions

I'm a fool
The singer repeats this line to emphasize his feelings of foolishness

I'm a fool
The repetition of this line near the end of the song solidifies the song's theme around the singer's confessional sense of insecurity
