Fallin'
Alicia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep on fallin'
In and out of love
With you
Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin' you darlin'
Makes me so confused

I keep on fallin' in and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you

Oh, oh, I never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain? (Yeah, yeah)
Just when I think
I've taken more than would a fool
I start fallin' back in love with you

I keep on fallin' in and out
Of love with you
I never (uh huh) loved someone (someone)
The way that I (way I) love you (uh, uh)

Oh, baby
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
Fall, fall, fall (sing)
Fall

I keep on fallin' in and out (out)
Of love (love) with you (with you)
I never (never) loved someone (loved)
The way that I (I) love you

I'm fallin' in and out
Of love (of love) with you (with you)
I never (no) loved someone (no, no)
The way that I (uh) love you

I'm fallin' in and out
Of love (of love) with you (with you)
I never (no) loved someone (no, no)
The way that I (uh) love you

Overall Meaning

In Alicia Keys's song Fallin', she expresses the confusion and unpredictability of love. She describes how she falls in and out of love with someone, in spite of the fact that that person sometimes makes her feel good, and at other times, makes her feel blue. Loving this person leaves her feeling confused, as their relationship is both pleasurable and painful.


The lyrics reflect on the paradoxical experience of loving someone who can sometimes be a source of great happiness, and sometimes a source of distress. Alicia wonders how someone can cause so much pleasure, and yet so much pain. Despite this, she never loved someone in the way that she loves this person, which explains why the experience of falling in and out of love with them is so intense.


She concludes by reiterating that she is falling in and out of love with this person, and that she never loved someone so much. The song conveys a sense of vulnerability in the face of the human condition, that is, the fact that love can be messy, unpredictable, and sometimes inexplicable.

I.m a in my 60s and a disabled USMC VET
I only heard of her during Obama s admin
Hadn't seen or heard the music or muse?
Unable to.
Now. ....WOW
SHEAR GOD S BEAUTY AND AN ANGELS VOICE...!
JUST LIKE VANESSA WILLIAMS! I always thought she didn't put enough R n B out!
I would of liked to have seen Quincy, Prince, and Jimmy Jam n Time
Funk her out !
Vanessa has incredible ranges to not used and
A Beauty that was truely another of Gods Gifts;
Natalie Cole
Vanessa Williams
Halle Barry
Beonce
Alicia Keys
Whitney Houston
All are America 's continuation of Grace Kelly and Mrs Kennedy
Camelot !!!
These Women
Are all AMERICAN PRINCESSES...!
NO ATTATCHED RACE, COLOR, ETHNICITY,RELIGION, OR SOCIOECONOMIC
STATUS ASSIGNED!
It's not that there isn't other beautiful women in the USA sure but each one of these on a bad day would be excellent!
(taking in consideration it's only my option) but I've traveled quite a bit in my youth and spent time in locations and either saw and or partake in some exquisite memories and R n R - Vacations!
Hugh Hefner would be jealous and race color religion size didn't matter eyes to toes
❤️ Most of all!
