Video hit Melody Gardot

Melody Gardot - Baby I'm a Fool

Baby I'm a Fool is a song written and composed by American jazz singer-songwriter Melody Gardot. It was released as the second single from her second full-length album, My One and Only Thrill.
According to Gardot, the lyrics are about "two coquette people who won't admit they are in love with each other."

A live rendition of the song was also recorded and released on her Live from SoHo EP.

A music video for "Baby I'm a Fool" was directed by Aaron Platt produced by Justin Cronkite, and filmed entirely in black-and-white. The video displays Gardot resting in an Clawfoot bathtub flanked by dancers dressed in tuxedos who perform an elaborate choreographic sequence to the rhythm of the song.

The lyrics:

How was I to know that this was always only just a little game to you?

All the time I felt you gave your heart I thought that I would do the same for you,

Tell the truth I think I should have seen it coming from a mile away,

When the words you say are,

"Baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love"

If I gave a thought to fascination I would know it wasn't right to care,

Logic doesn't seem to mind that I am fascinated by the love affair,

Still my heart would benefit from a little tenderness from time to time, but never mind,

Cause baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love,

Baby I should hold on just a moment and be sure it's not for vanity,

Look me in the eye and tell me love is never based upon insanity,

Even when my heart is beating hurry up the moment's fleeting,

Kiss me now, Don't ask me how,

Cause Baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall,

Baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall,

And I would never tell if you became a fool and fell in Love.
