Fool For You
Snoh Aalegra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴It's somethin' 'bout you that's so familiar
Somethin' that's got me wantin' to know you
And I can't put my finger on it
But it feels, oh, like I've been here before
It's somethin' about me that makes me wonder
I swear I met you, but you're a stranger
And I can't put my finger on quite what it is
Oh, but I've been here before
Maybe it was me who brought you here
I should run the other way, but I stay right here
And I'll be a fool for you
I know myself, but I pretend
I leave and I come back again
I'm a fool for you
I love you time and time again
I know just how the story ends, oh
Oh, you remind me of someone I once knew
Maybe I'm crazy, but it's hard to ignore you
And I can't wrap my head around it
But it feels, oh, like I loved you before
Maybe it was me who brought you here
I should run the other way, but I stay right here
And I'll be a fool for you
I know myself, but I pretend
I leave and I come back again
I'm a fool for you
I love you time and time again
I know just how the story ends, oh
Say
You know that I'll be that fool for you
And I'll be a fool for you
I know myself, but I pretend
I leave and I come back again
I'm a fool for you
I love you time and time again
I know just how the story ends, oh
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye
Oh, I-I-I
Oh, I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
Overall Meaning
In this song, Snoh Aalegra expresses her confusion and uncertainty towards a person she has just met. She feels a strong sense of familiarity towards them, as if they have met before, but cannot put her finger on why. The person reminds her of someone she once knew but cannot ignore the pull towards them. She recognizes it may be unwise to pursue this person, yet she remains drawn to them and will even be a fool for them.
The lyrics reveal a common experience - the feeling that someone you meet is somehow connected to a past experience. It could be something as simple as their mannerisms or appearance triggering old memories or as complex as a cosmic connection. The song taps into the vulnerability of love and the blind faith one has in it, even when it seems to defy logic.
The chorus reinforces the theme of being a fool for love, knowing full well the potential for heartbreak, but still choosing to pursue it anyway. Snoh Aalegra's soulful voice and the smooth melody add to the emotional depth of the song, making it relatable to listeners who have experienced this type of connection before.
