Fools Rush In
Sherry Petta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to say
A game I thought I'd never play
"Romance is a game for fools"
I said and grinned
Then you passed by
And here am I
Throwing caution to the wind
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head.
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Fools rush in where wise men never, never, never go
Eh, but wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
Ah, when we met, girl, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Just open up your heart and let this fool rush on in
Just open up your heart because I-I-I-I-I-I-I am coming in
Open up your heart and let this fool rush in!
In this song, Sherry Petta talks about how she used to believe that romance is a game meant for fools but then fell in love and became one of those fools herself. She conveys how she is aware of the dangers and risks involved in rushing into love, but she doesn't care because she believes in the chance of their love succeeding. The phrase "fools rush in where angels fear to tread" means that sometimes people take risks even when the odds are against them, which can lead to uncertain outcomes. Sherry implores her lover to open up their heart and let her "rush on in." It shows how love is a powerful emotion that can take over even the most rational of minds.
