The Fool Lyrics
Mind if I sit down
Do I look familiar if I don't well I should
I'm sure you've seen me around
I know you've probably heard my name
Though we've not been introduced
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
I've got something to say
It might sound crazy but last night in his sleep
I heard him call out your name
This ain't the first time he's done it before
And it's hard to face the truth
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
And I'm trying hard to make it last
But it ain't easy holding on to my dream
When he's holding on to the past
I'm not here to put you down
You don't love him and that's a fact
Girl I've seen you around
But you hold his heart in the palm of your hand
And it's breaking mine in two
'Cause I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
Who's still in love with you
It means she is the woman he is with now but he is still in love with the woman from his past....He'ss till holding on to his past love and all his current lover wants is to make there love last and be strong.
@terribrooke03 you are totally right,but I just wanted to translate the last stanza of the song:) The girl that the narrator is addressing obviously is well known for being with multiple men.The narrator knows this.She also knows that this particular girl doesn't love all of these men-and the "fool" that she's in love with is no exception.The narrator still loves said "fool" though and it breaks her heart "in two" that the sleeper-arounder leads the "fool" on like she does.
