Fallin' Songtext

von Marvin Hamlisch

I'm afraid to fly and I don't know why
I'm jealous of the people who are not afraid to die.
It's just that I recall, back when I was small,
Someone promised that they'd catch me.
Then they let me fall;
And now I'm fallin',
Fallin' fast again.
Why do I always take a fall when I fall in love?

You'd think by now I'd learn;
Play with fire you get burned,
But fire can be, oh so warm,
That's why I return.
Turn and walk away,
That's what I should do.
My head says go and find the door,
My heart says I found you;
And now I'm fallin',
Fallin' fast again.
Why do I always take a fall when I fall in love.

It always turns out the same.
Loving someone, losing myself,
Only got me to blame.
Help me, I'm fallin',
Fallin', catch me if you can.
Maybe this time I'll have it all,
Maybe I'll make it after all,
Maybe this time I won't fall when I fall in love
