Could It Be I'm Falling in Love
The Spinners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I speak your name (that's funny)
You say that you are so helpless too
That you don't know what to do
Each night I pray there will never come a day
When you up and take your love away
Say you feel the same way too and I wonder what
It is I feel for you
Could it be I'm falling in love (with you baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love (ooh)
Could it be I'm falling in love
With you, with you with you, with you
I don't need all those things that used to bring me joy
You made me such a happy boy
And honey you'll always be the only one for me
Meeting you was my destiny
You can be sure I will never let you down
When you need me I will be around
And darling you'll always be the only one for me
Heaven made you specially
Could it be I'm falling in love
The Spinners's song "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" is a classic love song that explores the emotions and feelings that arise when two people fall in love. The lyrics describe a person who has developed strong feelings for someone, and they are trying to come to terms with their emotions. The first verse shows the confusion that the main character has been feeling since they met this person. It's a strange feeling that they haven't experienced before, and every time they say the other person's name, they feel funny. The person they have feelings for is also feeling helpless, which is why they don't know what to do.
As the song progresses, the main character starts to realize that these feelings are more than just a passing crush. They start to pray that the other person will never leave them and express their own feelings. They're afraid of what could happen if they admit to themselves what they're feeling, but they can't help wondering if they're truly falling in love.
In the chorus, the main character realizes that they are indeed falling in love with the other person. They don't need any of the things that used to make them happy, as the other person has become their source of joy. They believe meeting the other person was their destiny and they will never let them down.
Overall, "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" is a beautiful and classic love song that conveys the joy and confusion of falling in love.

62 year old white grandpa here. Can’t get enough of the old school 70,s r and b ! Men were as tough as nails but not afraid to show their emotions. People were so much kinder to each other back then. White people and black people and Hispanic people. People of all color out on the dance floor together. No fighting no violence . I just finished listening to the o j ,s song cry together. A man and his woman crying together in the middle of the night. Because they want to do what it takes to stay together. This old school r&b and soul and disco . We can all learn from it . We are all gods children. We are all brothers and sisters. Even the strong silent type like me hears it in this music.
