“Fool (If You Think It’s Over)” is a soft rock song by British singer-songwriter Chris Rea. It was released in 1978 as the lead single from his debut album, “Whatever Happened to Benny Santini?”
The song’s lyrics depict a man comforting a woman who is going through a difficult time, reassuring her that things will get better despite the challenges they face. The title, “Fool (If You Think It’s Over),” suggests that the woman is mistaken if she believes their relationship has come to an end.
“Fool (If You Think It’s Over)” became a major hit for Chris Rea, reaching No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. Its success was driven by its soulful melody, Rea’s distinctive vocals, and the relatable themes of love and resilience.
