Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Falling in love with love is playing the fool
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just for children in school
I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
Oh, I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
But love fell out with me
In the song "Falling in Love with Love" by Rodgers and Hart, the lyrics describe the foolishness and immaturity that often accompanies falling in love with the idea of love, rather than a specific person. The song warns that this behavior is make-believe and that caring too much is a juvenile fancy, indicating that these actions are not wise or mature. The lyrics also suggest that trust is something that is learned in childhood, indicating that trust is often fragile and easily broken.
The singer of the song reflects on how they fell in love with love one night under the full moon, indicating that this romantic notion may have influenced their feelings. However, the singer also notes that they were unwise and unable to see reality clearly. Ultimately, the relationship ended and they were left with unrequited love.
