Fools Rush In
Velvet Angels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to say
A game I thought I'd never play
"Romance is a game for fools"
I said and grinned
Then you passed by
And here am I
Throwing caution to the wind
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head.
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Fools rush in where wise men never, never, never go
Eh, but wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
Ah, when we met, girl, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Just open up your heart and let this fool rush on in
Just open up your heart because I-I-I-I-I-I-I am coming in
Open up your heart and let this fool rush in!
The song "Fools Rush In" was originally written in 1940 by Rube Bloom with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The lyrics explore the idea that romance is a game for fools, but sometimes those who take risks and throw caution to the wind are the ones who find true love. Velvet Angels' version of the song adds a modern twist to the classic tune, with a sultry and smooth vocal performance that draws listeners in.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the message of the song. "Romance is a game for fools" is a common sentiment for those who have been hurt in love before and may be reluctant to try again. The singer of the song admits that she used to feel this way as well, but something about the person she is singing to has changed her mind. She is now willing to take the risk of falling in love, even if it means throwing caution to the wind.
The chorus of the song, "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread," is a well-known phrase that comes from Alexander Pope's poem "An Essay on Criticism." The line implies that those who take risks are foolish, while those who are cautious and wise avoid danger. However, the singer of the song sees things differently. She is willing to take the risk of falling in love, even if it means putting her heart above her head. The line "wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?" suggests that those who play it safe may miss out on the greatest rewards of life.
Overall, "Fools Rush In" is a song about taking risks and following your heart, even if it means going against conventional wisdom. Velvet Angels' version of the song adds a modern flair while staying true to the classic themes of the original.
Line by Line Meaning
Romance is a game for fools
I used to believe that love was silly and not worth my time
A game I thought I'd never play
I never thought I would fall in love and participate in the supposed 'game' of romance
Romance is a game for fools
But then you came into my life and changed my perspective on love
I said and grinned
I used to speak dismissively about love, like it was a joke
Then you passed by
And here am I
Throwing caution to the wind
But now that I've met you, I'm taking risks and disregarding my reservations
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head.
I know that it may not be wise to dive into love, but I'm willing to take the risk because of how strongly I feel about you
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Even if I acknowledge the potential harm that could come from loving you, I still want to pursue a relationship with you
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
Sometimes it takes being a little foolish to take a chance on love, and those who play it safe and never fall in love don't truly understand the risks and joys of it
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Meeting you changed my life and made me want to jump headfirst into a relationship with you
Just open up your heart and let this fool rush on in
Just open up your heart because I-I-I-I-I-I-I am coming in
Open up your heart and let this fool rush in!
So please, take a chance on me and let me into your heart despite my foolish tendencies
