You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me
The New Seekers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You won't find another fool like me, babe
No you won't
Who'll sit around all night and wait for you
And close their eyes
To oh so many lies
No one else could love you like I do

I wanna tell ya
You won't find another clown like me babe
No you won't
I can't count the times you said you'd leave
You know darned well you're fooling
'Cause wherever you may go
You won't find another fool like me

Sometimes I can't understand
What makes me the fool that I am
Then you touch my hands
And suddenly I know

Even though you treat me like you do babe
You know you do
I'm so hooked on you I can't get free
Oh but I'll get through the bad times
'Cause in my heart I know
That you won't find another fool like me

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Give me just a sign
You may ring me sometime
I'll fall for that old game you always play boy
I wanna tell ya
You won't find another clown like me babe
No you won't
I can't count the times you said you'd leave
You know darned well you're fooling
'Cause wherever you may go
You won't find another fool like me




Ooohhh
You will never find another fool like me

Overall Meaning

The New Seekers' song "You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me" is a classic example of a love ballad that beautifully portrays the vulnerability and depth of love. The song paints an image of a lovestruck person who is willing to keep waiting and forgiving despite being lied to, taken for granted, and fooled by their lover. The lyrics suggest that the singer sees themselves as a fool, but they are also aware that they are unique in their love and devotion to their partner. The song captures the confusing nature of love and how it can be difficult to let go even when it's clear that the relationship is not ideal.


The first verse sets the tone for the song, as it highlights the singer's willingness to wait and close their eyes to the lies their lover tells them, as they believe that no one else could love their partner as they do. The chorus is a repeated refrain that emphasizes the singer's uniqueness as a lover, suggesting that their partner won't find anyone else who is as loyal and loving as they are. The second verse emphasizes that the singer understands that they are being taken for granted and played for a fool but remains hopeful that their love will be enough to get them through the bad times.
