A Fool In Love
Turner Ike and Tina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't somebody please, please tell me what's wrong
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
He's got me smilin' when I should be ashamed
Got me laughing when my heart is in pain
Oh no, I must be a fool
But I'll do anything you ask me to
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man
Without my man I don't wanna live
You think I'm lying but I'm telling you like it is
He's got my nose open and that's no lie
And I, I'm gonna keep him satisfied
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man
A wave of action speaks louder than words
The truest thing that I ever heard
I trust my man and all that he do
And I, and I'll do anything he wants me to do
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man
The song "Fool in Love" by Ike and Tina Turner talks about being in love with someone who doesn't always treat you right but you can't help but love them anyway. The first few lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer expressing confusion and frustration about their emotions. The chorus drives the point home that they are a fool in love and have to accept the ups and downs that come with it.
The lyrics paint a picture of a complicated relationship where the man may not always treat the singer well, but she can't help but stay with him. She talks about how he makes her smile and laugh, even when she's in pain, and that she would do anything for him. The bridge emphasizes the importance of actions over words, and the singer trusts her man even though he may not always treat her the way she deserves.

Ya' know, when they built Angela Bassett up to play that role, I thought they over did it with the muscles. But now I see.
