Analysis of I'm A Fool



I'm a fool
In love with a fool,
Who could never love me
Who treats me so cruel.

I'm a fool
Hanging on to you.
The man who looks right through me
Who resents my presence,  just as you do.

I'm a fool
Setting my heart up for a fall.
Who could be that crazy?
For a man with no emotion at all.

I'm a fool
For a man who has no heart.
Whos turned me upside down
And torn my world apart.

But a fool I shall be,
Because my love for him
Will never be set free.
