Oh, oh, how I fool myself
This time I tripped
My God, I messed it all up
Man, I screwed up
Cause I've done this thousands of times
How come I never learned
Not to like people this fast
Oh, oh, oh, how I fool myself
This time I tripped
My God, I messed it all up
Man, I screwed up
Cause I've done this thousands of times
How come I never learned
Not to like people this fast
I thought I'd change
And it was so clear
After the mistakes and mistakes from last time
But when I see it
I catch myself even making plans
To introduce you to my parents
I'm watching way too many movies
Oh, how I fool myself
This time I tripped
My God, I messed it all up
Man, I screwed up
Cause I've done this thousands of times
How come I never learned
Not to like people this fast
Not to like people this fast
Not to like people this fast

“Ai, Ai, Como Eu Me Iludo” is O Terno’s witty confession of a hopeless romantic who can’t stop tripping over his own daydreams. With every ai, ai and playful lament, the singer admits he’s once again boarded the fast-track fantasy train—mixing up feelings, picturing movie-style moments, even planning the big “meet my parents” scene—after knowing someone for only a heartbeat.

Beneath the light, catchy groove sits a relatable message: we often promise ourselves we’ll guard our hearts next time, yet we keep falling just as hard and just as fast. The repeated chorus becomes an amused self-scolding—“How have I still not learned?”—turning the song into a humorous reminder that recognizing our patterns is step one, but breaking them is a whole other story.
