Silly
T.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Silly of me to think that I
Could ever have you for my guy
How I love you
How I want you
Silly of me to think that you
Could ever really want me too
How I love you
You're just a lover out to score
I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be

Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me

Silly of me to think that you
Could ever know the things I do
Are all done for you
Only for you
Silly of me to take the time
To comb my hair and pour the wine
And know you're not there

You're just a lover out to score
And I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be

Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me

Ooh...hoo...hoo...hoo...

Silly of me to go around
And brag about the love I've found
I say you're the best
Well, I can't tell the rest
And foolish of me to tell them all
That every night and day you call
When you could care less

You're just a lover out to score
And I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be

Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me, uh-huh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh...ooh...ooh...silly
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh...ooh...ooh...silly

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Silly
Ooh, ooh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Silly
La-la-la-la-la-la




La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Silly

Overall Meaning

In "Silly," the singer expresses the foolishness of hoping for a romantic relationship that will never happen. She is aware that the person she is interested in is only looking for a physical relationship, and she is aware that she deserves a more sincere connection. The singer is conflicted because she feels this person's physical attraction, but she knows it's not real love. The lyrics reflect how easy it is to be fooled by the emotions we feel, and how sometimes we want something so badly that we convince ourselves it's real.


The lyrics of "Silly" are heartbreaking yet relatable, as many people have gone through a similar situation in life. The song tells of the challenges of unrequited love and how it can leave one feeling foolish for placing their love on someone who doesn't want them in the same way.


The song also addresses the disparity of feelings that exists between the singer and the other person. The person only sees her as a temporary love interest, and the singer knows that there is no real substance to their momentary interactions. The lyrics speak to a universal concern of finding genuine love and avoiding settling for anything less.
