Lovefool

Foi nos tempos do Liceu, possivelmente no 11º ano, ainda antes de sair o Romeo + Juliet, de Baz Luhrmann, de cuja banda sonora faz parte.

E ontem estive a ouvi-la até à exaustão. Porque apesar da letra triste, a música não o é.

The Cardigans - Lovefool

Words: Persson, Svensson
Music: Svensson

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 just stick to another man
a man that surely deserves me
but I think you do!*

So I cry, and 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 cried, and I begged 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 about 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 pledge 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 cried, and I begged 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 about 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 about anything but you

(* a minha também já me disse coisas semelhantes. Como naquele dia em que saí de certa casa, de mala e cuia, em que decidi que os finais seriam preferíveis em táxi que de metro. Pelo menos os meus).
