I Was a Fool to Care

I was a fool to care        I was a fool to care                I was a fool to care        but I don't care even if I was a fool                                 I'm still in love with you                  Had I listened to the grapevine                I might have had my doubts             But I did my level best just to block them out                                  "Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes                              And it took a while for a fool to see      what his friends were on about       I was a fool to care          I was a fool to care                I was a fool to care        but I don't care even if I was a fool                                 I'm still in love with you      Imagining your face       it almost fills the empty space before me                    I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies                                                        I wish I was an old man and love was through with me              I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee                                  I wish I was a freight train moving down the line                              Just keeping track of time       without all these memories       I was a fool to care          I was a fool to care                I was a fool to care         but I don't care even if I was a fool                                 I'm still in love with you              Baby yes I am              I could have opened my eyes                            I could have seen through your lies                     I could have stood for no more                    I could have walked out the door                     But I was a fool to care I was a fool to care                              But I was a fool to care I was a fool to care                              You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care...

Cette chanson évoque le regret et la vulnérabilité en amour. Le narrateur reconnaît qu'il a été naïf et aveugle face à la vérité sur sa relation, tout en affirmant que, malgré tout, ses sentiments pour l'autre personne demeurent intacts. Il se rend compte qu'il aurait pu mieux écouter les conseils de ses amis, mais l'amour l'a conduit à ignorer certains signes. Le contexte semble être celui d’un amour complexe, où l'on oscille entre la douleur de la déception et la force des émotions. Cette lutte intérieure entre la raison et le cœur est palpable, et souligne la nature parfois illogique de l’amour.
