Discover the story of the song > Silly – Deniece Williams

The song talks about the protagonist's love for someone who only sees her as a lover and not as a serious partner. She feels silly for thinking that he could ever want a real relationship with her and gets upset with herself for doing things to impress him, like combing her hair and pouring wine, even though he's not there. She realizes that she should be looking for something more meaningful and wants love to stop making a fool of her.
