Mama, I found a man
Who loves me and understands
Papa, he's quite a man
He adores me, he's my biggest fan
And don't get me wrong,
I know he's not perfect in your eyes
But somehow he's flawless in mine

And you may tell me to run, run now
But I can't do that
We're too far down the hole
He's got a hold on my soul

So I guess I'm a fool
I'm a fool in love
But I'm willing to stay here
And bask in the glory of his heart
I guess I'm a fool in love
But I'm willing to look so stupid
Till I had enough

Mama, don't judge me now
I'm not trying to hurt you
I know this won't make you proud
Papa, did I let you down?
Are you ashamed of how your little girl turned out?

You'll see a monster
I see a smile
You say it's danger
And I'm in denial
But somehow I feel so safe right now

So I guess I'm a fool
I'm a fool in love
But I'm willing to stay here
And bask in the glory of his heart
I guess I'm a fool in love
But I'm willing to look so stupid
Till I had enough

    Song MeaningThis song is so amazing to me and I feel that this has a very powerful message.
    I think that it's talking about a young girl who's found love with the wrong guy.
    She thinks sees him as perfection but knows that everyone else sees him for the bad guy he is.
    She is blind to his monstrosity of a personality by her own love.
    She won't be done with him until she's finally had enough of his possibly abusive actions.

    General CommentI love Rihanna but I don't think her voice is strong enough for a song like this. The message is still very heavy and you can tell its coming from the heart. I sometimes suspect its about Chris Brown, maybe its written from the past. Its about a woman that is in love with a man she knows she shouldn't be in love with, so she has to admit she's a fool in love.

    General CommentI liked Rihanna before good girl gone bad, but now she makes some bad music. Just my opinion. But then she comes with a great song like this. The meaning. I personally think that she maybe fell in love with a bad boy, one that her parents dont approve of. But she loves him, and she doesnt mind being a fool for now. She knows she's not suppose to be with him, but she got him to love her and shes going to be in it while she can. Because she believes that this love is worth the risk. I dont think this song is about Chris Brown though.
