I'll Never Fall in Love Again
Burt Bacharach/Hal David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

¿Qué obtienes cuando te enamoras?
Un tipo con un alfiler para reventar tu burbuja
Eso es lo que obtienes por todos tus problemas
Nunca me enamoraré de nuevo
Nunca me enamoraré de nuevo
¿Qué obtienes cuando besas a un chico?
Obtienes suficientes gérmenes para contraer neumonía
Después de que lo hagas, él nunca te llamará
Nunca me enamoraré de nuevo
Nunca me enamoraré de nuevo
No me digas de qué se trata
porque he estado allí y me alegro de estar fuera,
fuera de esas cadenas, esas cadenas que te atan
Por eso estoy aquí para recordarte...
¿Qué obtienes cuando te enamoras?
Sólo obtienes mentiras, dolor y tristeza
Así que al menos hasta mañana
nunca me enamoraré de nuevo
Nunca me enamoraré de nuevo
Fuera de las cadenas, las cadenas que te atan
Por eso estoy aquí para recordarte...
¿Qué obtienes cuando te enamoras?
Sólo obtienes mentiras, dolor y tristeza
Así que al menos hasta mañana
nunca me enamoraré de nuevo
Nunca me enamoraré de nuevo
Nunca me enamoraré de nuevo

So difficult to write a great song. This guy had a list. RIP.
@schnuurtchke
The song came out before I was born, but Bacharach, Warwick et al were big in the late ‘60’s early ‘70’s, and my parents had the records, remember hearing this when I was very young. This song along with a lot of others are truly beautiful and timeless. Thanks for uploading
