Lovefool Video (MV)




"Lovefool" is a song written by Peter Svensson and Nina Persson for Swedish rock band the Cardigans' third studio album, First Band on the Moon (1996). It was released as the album's lead single on 10 August 1996 in Japan. In the United States, the song was serviced to radio two days later.

A few months after its release, the track was included in the Baz Luhrmann film Romeo + Juliet, helping the song gain international recognition.

"Lovefool" peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart following a re-release in 1997 and achieved moderate success on other European charts. In North America, it reached number three in Canada and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay Chart (it did not appear on the Hot 100 due to rules in place at the time).

Persson wrote the lyrics to the song at an airport while waiting for a plane. She later said that the song is:
"quite a sad love song; the meaning of it is quite pathetic, really." She also added that "the biggest hits are the ones that are the easiest to write".

In Australasia, the song topped the New Zealand Singles Chart and climbed to number 11 in Australia, earning gold sales certifications in both regions.

The Cardigans - Lovefool Lyrics




Dear, I fear 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
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do

So I cried, I prayed and I begged

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 lang for you to

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Leave me, leave me, just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you

Lately, I have desperately pondered
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay

Reason will not reach a solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go

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 lang for you to

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Leave me, leave me, just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you
Anything but you

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me
Love me, love me, I know that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you
