Fool Around Lyrics
Fool around
You fool around
Did an older girl get to school you now?
It's the rule around
You don't choose it now
You can turn around
And get turned around
There's a ring around
She don't keep around
She don't fool around
When she fools around
So he moves around
And gets schooled around
'Cause she fools around
On a boy who never thought to fool around
Fool around
You fool around
Did a younger boy get to rule you now?
It's the rule around
You don't choose it now
You can turn around
And get turned around
There's a girl in town
And she's cooler now
So he's moving out
Out where it's cooler now
And he moves around
And gets schooled around
And he fools around
On a girl who never thought to fool around
You fool around
Did an older girl get to school you now?
You don't choose it now
You can turn around
And get turned around
She don't keep around
She don't fool around
When she fools around
And gets schooled around
'Cause she fools around
On a boy who never thought to fool around
You fool around
Did a younger boy get to rule you now?
You don't choose it now
You can turn around
And get turned around
And she's cooler now
So he's moving out
Out where it's cooler now
And gets schooled around
And he fools around
On a girl who never thought to fool around

great song with a even better rhythm. i think its about two people (the girl older) who date and get married. the wife "fools around" and the guy leaves her.
best analog set song ive heard
I think it's talking about teenage promiscuity involving a girl who spreads her promiscuity like a disease to a younger boy and the chain continues as he does the same with another girl and on and on.
This song is magnificient. Lyrically and aurally as well.
Definitely a married woman
There's a ring around She don't keep around She don't fool around When she fools around
I think "he gets schooled around" means she plays him. maybe he doesn't know what's going on? The "boy who never thought to fool around" means her husband was loyal.
So he moves around And gets schooled around Cause she fools around On a boy who never thought to fool around
I think the husband leaves the wife but then cheats on the next woman he was with
There's a girl in town And she's cooler now So he's moving out Out where it's cooler now
And he moves around And gets schooled around And he fools around On a girl who never thought to fool around
I agree. It could even be about a cycle.
