Lyrics of
Lovefool

Lovefool by The Cardigans, penned by Nina Persson and Peter Svensson, gained widespread recognition after featuring on the soundtrack of the 1996 movie Romeo + Juliet. The lyrics convey a desperate yearning for love and attention, even if it means being deceived.

Dear I feel we're facing a problem
You love me no longer I know and
Maybe there is nothing that I can do
To make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
Said I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
I think you do
(Pre-chorus)
So I cry I pray and I beg
Love me love me say that you love me
Fool me fool me go on and fool me
Love me love me pretend that you love me
Leave me leave me just say that you need me

So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me love me say that you love me
Leave me leave me say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you
Lately I have desperately wondered
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not teach a solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go
(Pre-chorus)
So I cry I pray and I beg
Love me love me say that you love me
Fool me fool me go on and fool me
Love me love me pretend that you love me
Leave me leave me just say that you need me

So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me love me say that you love me
Lead me lead me say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you
So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me love me say that you love me
Lead me lead me say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you
Love me love me say that you love me
etc.
