"Baby I'm a Fool" is a song written and composed by American jazz singer-songwriter Melody Gardot. It was released as the second single from her second full-length album, My One and Only Thrill. According to Gardot, the lyrics are about "two coquette people who won't admit they are in love with each other."[1] A live rendition of the song was also recorded and released on her Live from SoHo EP. It also appeared in her 2018 live album Live in Europe.
A music video for "Baby I'm a Fool" was directed by Aaron Platt produced by Justin Cronkite, and filmed entirely in black-and-white. The video displays Gardot resting in an Clawfoot bathtub flanked by dancers dressed in tuxedos who perform an elaborate choreographic sequence to the rhythm of the song.
