SILLY
Williams Deniece Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Silly of me to think that I
Could ever have you for my guy
How I love you
How I want you
Silly of me to think that you
Could ever really want me too
How I love you
You're just a lover out to score
I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be

Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me

Silly of me to think that you
Could ever know the things I do
Are all done for you
Only for you
Silly of me to take the time
To comb my hair and pour the wine
And know you're not there

You're just a lover out to score
And I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be

Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me

Ooh...hoo...hoo...hoo...

Silly of me to go around
And brag about the love I've found
I say you're the best
Well, I can't tell the rest
And foolish of me to tell them all
That every night and day you call
When you could care less

You're just a lover out to score
And I know that I should be looking for more
What could it be in you I see
What could it be

Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me
Oh...oh...oh...love, oh, love
Stop making a fool of me, uh-huh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh...ooh...ooh...silly
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh...ooh...ooh...silly

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Silly
Ooh, ooh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Silly
La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Silly


Overall Meaning

The song "Silly" by Deniece Williams is about a woman who is hopelessly in love with a man who does not reciprocate her feelings. The lyrics suggest that she has been fooling herself into believing that he could ever be her boyfriend. She states that it is silly of her to think that she could ever have him, and that it is foolish of her to brag to her friends about the love she thinks they share. She is aware that he is only using her for his own satisfaction and that he is not interested in anything more. However, she is unable to help her love for him and is being consumed by the situation.


The chorus to the song is a cry for her lover to stop making a fool out of her. She knows that she should be looking for more in a relationship, but she cannot help her feelings of love for him.


The song is a powerful exploration of the dangers of a one-sided relationship and the harm it can cause. It is a warning to anyone who might find themselves in a similar situation, to be careful not to deceive themselves into believing that someone who is only out to score is capable of genuine love.
