Woman In Love
The Styles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do fools fall in love?

Why do birds sing so gay
And lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love

Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love
Why do they fall in love

Love is a losing game
Love can be a shame
I know of a fool you see
That fool is me

Why do fools fall in love?

Why do birds sing so gay
And lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love

Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love
Why do they fall in love

Why does my heart skip this crazy beat
Because it knows
It will reach defeat




Tell me why, tell me why
Why do fools fall in love?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Styles's song Woman In Love delve into the age-old question of why do people continue to fall in love despite all the inherent risks and potential heartbreak. The song explores the concept of romantic love as a losing game, one that can cause shame and ultimately lead to defeat. The lines "Love is a losing game, Love can be a shame" highlight the potential pain and suffering that come hand in hand with falling in love.


The song also examines the inexplicable nature of love. The opening lines, "Why do fools fall in love? Why do birds sing so gay? And lovers await the break of day?" suggest that love is a natural phenomenon that is both joyous and confusing at the same time. The line "Why does my heart skip this crazy beat / Because it knows / It will reach defeat" hints at the fact that people who fall in love may be fully aware of the potential risk of heartbreak, yet they still continue to follow their hearts.


Interestingly, the lyrics of the song do not explicitly define who the "fools" in question are. It's open to interpretation whether the artist is implying that every person who falls in love is a fool, or whether it refers to someone in particular. The ambiguity of the lyrics allows listeners to relate the song to their own experiences and understandings of love.

Since I’ve been dressing more in suits & blazers for networking events, I’ve incorporated pocket squares into my looks& matching them with my shirts. It’s definitely helped elevate my look.

Loving the pinstripes my dude!

As far as signature fragrances go, I have a few that I alternate with. Us Canadians are known for our ridiculously cold winters, but we also have surprisingly hot summers. Too much to safely wear the same fragrance year round and expect the same level of performance. I have a few warmer weather ones and a few colder weather ones but I find Green Irish Tweed is pretty good spring to fall so I mostly use that style fragrance and then keep things fresh with about 8 different summer/winter fragrances
