Funnel of Love
Wanda Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I go,
Falling down, down, down,
My mind is a blank,
My head is spinning around and around,
As I go deep into the funnel of love.

It's such a crazy, crazy feeling,
I get weak in the knees,
My poor old head is a reelin',
As I go deep into the funnel of love.




I tried and I tried, to run and hide,
I even tried to run away,
You just can't run from the funnel of love,
It's gonna get you someday.

It's such a crazy, crazy feeling,
I get weak in the knees,
My poor old head is a reelin',
As I go deep into the funnel of love.

I tried and I tried, to run and hide,
I even tried to run away,
You just can't run from the funnel of love,
It's gonna get you someday.

Here I go, falling down, down, down,
My mind is a blank,
My head is spinning around and around,
As I go deep into the funnel of love,
Deep into the funnel of love,
Deep into the funnel of love.

Overall Meaning

Wanda Jackson's "Funnel of Love" is a song that portrays the experience of falling head over heels in love. The singer depicts herself as spiralling down a funnel, her mind going blank, and her head spinning around and around. She sings of experiencing a "crazy, crazy feeling" that makes it difficult to stand tall and makes her weak in the knees. The song emphasizes that once someone falls into the "funnel of love," there is no escaping it, no matter how hard they try. Jackson sings that she had tried to run and hide, but the love still caught up with her.


The lyrics also suggest a sense of surrender that comes with being in love. Jackson's admission that she can't run from the "funnel of love" implies that she has accepted her fate and is willing to take the plunge. The repeated "Here I go" at the beginning and the end of the song seems to signify a sense of readiness to dive into love, despite not knowing where it may lead.


The lyrics of the song reflect the rockabilly style that was popular in the 1950s, and Jackson's voice drives the song with its raw energy, adding to the sense of falling into something wild and unpredictable.
