Find out what he can do,
'Cause I'm in the market for you.
There won't be any joker,
With margin I'm all through,
'Cause I want you outright, it's true.
I want a thousand shares of your caresses, too.
We'll count the hugs and kisses,
When dividends are due,
'Cause I'm in the market for you!
The lyrics to Andy Kirk and His Orchestra's song "I'm Falling For You" revolve around the metaphorical idea of the singer being in a stock market and wanting to invest in the person they are in love with.

The second stanza further emphasizes the singer's desire to have a committed relationship with the person, as they have given up on playing games and are ready to fully invest in them.
