A Fool In Love
U.F.O. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People say I'm a lion at heart
But they don't know what I em
People say that I stand apart
But they just don't understand

Every night when the darkness calls
I'll be there at your beck and call
I'm a fool for you baby
I'm a fool right now
People say I'm a man of means
But my plans are full of holes
People say I'm a holy child
But I'm rich down to my soul
All I need is you close beside me
All I need is to satisfy

I'm a fool for you baby
I'm a fool right now
People say I'm a man of means
But my plans are full of holes
People say I'm a holy child
But I'm rich down to my soul
All I need is you close beside me
All I need is to satisfy

I'm a fool for you baby
I'm a fool in love

Every mornin' when the sun comes up
And all your dreams, they slip sway
I see your face and I understand
You're the only one, only one to make my day, yeah
Everybody say you ain't no good
But I won't believe it's true
They all say I ought to find someone,
But my heart belongs to you

Every night when the darkness calls
I'll be there at your beck and call

I'm a fool for you baby
I'm a fool right now
People say I'm a man of means
But my plans are full of holes
People say I'm a holy child
But I'm rich down to my soul
All I need is you close beside me
All I need is to satisfy

I'm a fool for you baby
I'm a fool right now
People say I'm a man of means
But my plans are full of holes
People say I'm a holy child
But I'm rich down to my soul




All I need is you close beside me
All I need is to satisfy

Overall Meaning

In U.F.O.'s song A Fool in Love, the singer speaks about his love for his significant other. He suggests that people may not understand the depth of his emotions or the kind of person he is. He is a lion at heart, but it seems like people don't truly know what he is like on the inside. Although others might say he stands apart, he feels as if they don't comprehend his true nature. However, every night when his lover calls, he is there for them, eager to satisfy their needs. The singer admits that he is a fool for them but asserts that he is content with his decision. Even though he has been called a man of means, his plans are full of holes. He is a holy child, but he feels that he is rich down to his soul, and the only thing that he needs to be completely satisfied is to be with his lover.


The singer admits that he is a fool in love, still drawn to their lover as each morning breaks. He sees their sweetheart’s face and understands how important they are to him. He feels as if they're the only one who can make his day. Although people may say his lover isn't any good, the singer doesn't believe it. They advise him to find someone else, but his heart belongs to only one person. The singer repeats that he is a fool for their lover, willing to go to any lengths to make them happy.


Overall, the song is about foolish love and speaks to the idea that sometimes love doesn't make much sense. The singer admits he’s a fool in love, but it's a feeling that he won't give up easily, and no one can tell him otherwise.
