Could It Be I'm Falling In Love
Boyz II Men 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
It is I feel for you
Could it be I'm falling in love
(Witcha baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love
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'll 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
(Witcha baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love
Could it be I'm falling in love
(With you, with you, with you)
With you
And darling you'll always be the only one for me
Heaven made you specially
Could it be I'm falling in love
(Witcha baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love
(I wanna know now baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love
(With you, with you, with you)
With you
Could it be I'm falling in love
(I walk around with my heart in my hands hey)
Could it be I'm falling in love
(Walk the street as long as I can baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love
(I used to sing fa fa fa fa)
Could it be I'm falling in love
(But right now I feel so good I sing la la la la)
Could it be I'm falling in love
(Once you get me up)
Could it be I'm falling in love
(Won’t let me down)
Could it be I'm falling in love
(Just let this feeling carry me on)
Could it be I'm falling in love
(Skip the beats with my heart girl)
Could it be I'm falling in love

Since I met you I've begun to feel so strange
I feel different ever since I met you
Every time I speak your name
Just hearing your name makes me feel good
You say that you are so helpless too

I'm a Spinners fan and truthfully can say these guys did a great job covering this song. I love both versions equally.

@The_Doo_Dah_Man
What do you know, the hometown Philly Boyz doing one of the greatest Philly Soul songs all of time. This has to be one of the best cover songs I’ve ever heard.

Guess that the extra time one this video is for the listener to reflect over the wonderful sounds that they've just heard. Been doing that ever since I heard this song. And, when I hear the original, makes me think of this song. Not that like this more, but B2M does this song so well. They send a very good "thank you" to the Spinners for creating this song:)
