Fool for You Anyway Lyrics

Well I miss you, Honey
A little more everyday
And I know if I kissed you
You'd be comin' back home to stay

'Cause I know I was wrong
But how long do I have to pay
You know you belong here beside me
I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway

Well I cried for you so long
The river of tears ran dry
And I tried to be so strong
But grew weaker as time went by

You know your love left a mark on me
I don't think it will fade away
I sit here and wait 'til you come home
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway

You know your love left a mark on me
I don't think it will fade away
I sit here and wait 'til you come home
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
Yes I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway

Fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway
Yes I'm a fool for you anyway
A fool for you anyway
A fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about a man who when his woman leaves, is severely affected. His love for her left a metaphorical mark on him, and he will live his whole life from now on regretting ending the relationship. The term “fool for you anyway” may suggest that the woman did something wrong, but he still loves her. I believe that the meaning of this song is that not all relationships are successful, as everyone makes mistakes. Regardless of how small the mistake is, it can lead to bigger consequences down the line. Though we may strive for perfection, perfection is impossible. The main character in this song clearly misses his partner, and waits for her to come home. Though he subconsciously knows that she will never return, his love affects his way of thinking rationally. Sometimes, humans can be in deep love with someone even if they may not be perfect. However none of us are perfect, we all make mistakes. We must embrace these imperfections in order to proceed in the course of our lives.
