About Love Foolosophy

"Love Foolosophy" is the third single from British funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai's fifth studio album, A Funk Odyssey. The song was written by Jason Kay and Toby Smith. The song's title is a play on words, using a makeshift homonym for "Philosophy" to imply that the singer is a fool for love, as it were. The song peaked at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart. This song was also used in the credits for the unaired English pilot for Code Lyoko. The video features a man (Jay Kay), and his girlfriend (Heidi Klum), driving in a car, and having a party in a garden of Jay Kay's mansion with other women. The garden is also featured in the video for "Seven Days in Sunny June".

Baby baby, I feel these sweet sensations
Honey honey, looks like a superstar
She's got a promise of lovestruck fascination

What am I to do? How am I to know?
Who you are

She shimmers like a California sunset
Honey, honey glitters but there's no gold
She carries sweetly infectious magic formulas
I'm so delirious, is she that serious?
Is she bringing me on, I've been waiting so long

And this love, fool, osophy is killing 
Previous illusions that
I had in my mind about you
Seems so true, all the lies you're telling
Tragically compelling and
My love it means nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool

I don't want to be a love fool
I don't want the world I want you
