Kissing a Fool Lyrics

You are far When I could have been your star You listened to people Who scared you to death, and from my heart Strange that you were strong enough To even make a start But you'll never find Peace of mind, 'Til you listen to your heart People You can never change the way they feel Better let them do just what they will For they will If you let them Steal your heart from you People Will always make a lover feel a fool But you knew I loved you We could have shown them all We should have seen love through Fooled me with the tears in your eyes Covered me with kisses and lies So goodbye But please don't take my heart You are far I'm never gonna be your star I'll pick up the pieces And mend my heart Maybe I'll be strong enough I don't know where to start But I'll never find Peace of mind While I listen to my heart People You can never change the way they feel Better let them do just what they will, For they will If you let them Steal your heart And people Will always make a lover feel a fool But you knew I loved you We could have shown them all But remember this Every other kiss That you ever give Long as we both live When you need the hand of another man One you really can surrender with I will wait for you Like I always do There's something there That can't compare with any other You are far When I could have been your star You listened to people Who scared you to death, and from my heart Strange that I was wrong enough To think you'd love me too I guess you were kissing a fool You must have been kissing a fool

Meaning of Kissing a Fool

“Kissing a Fool” is a poignant lament about lost love and the painful realization of being manipulated by someone else’s insecurities. George Michael conveys a deep sense of sorrow and regret, acknowledging that his beloved was ultimately consumed by the opinions of others, leading her to reject genuine affection and settle for a destructive relationship. The lyrics depict a futile attempt to offer unwavering support, highlighting how external pressures – “people” who frightened her – prevented her from embracing love and happiness. The repeated refrain emphasizes the feeling of being a “fool,” recognizing that she prioritized fear over connection, allowing herself to be emotionally exploited. Despite the heartbreak, there’s an underlying determination to rebuild his own heart and find peace, suggesting a bittersweet acceptance of the situation and a quiet hope for future strength, ultimately questioning where he should even begin.
