I Fell In Love
Carlene Carter Lyrics

Hey, I hit town without a clue
I arrived in town not knowing what would happen next. I was just going about my business as usual.

Minding my business like I always do
I was focused on my own affairs, as I typically am.

Just my luck I ran smack into you
I happened to bump right into you without planning for it.

And I never could've known it would be like this
I had no way to foresee what would happen to me after meeting you.

You got the kind of charm that I can't resist
Your manner and charisma are captivating to me.

I figure what's the harm in a little bitty kiss or two
I thought there was no risk or harm in kissing you a couple of times.

But I fell in love
Despite my expectations, I ended up developing a deep emotional attachment to you.

(Whatcha want to do that for)
I question my reasoning for falling in love with you.

Took me by surprise, put me on the floor
My feelings for you came out of nowhere and left me in shock and confusion.

Right between the eyes with a two by four
My love for you hit me hard and fast, like a blunt object striking me in the head.

Just a little taste and
After only a brief experience with you,

I fell in love
I became smitten with you and couldn't get you out of my mind.

I was doing fine out on my own
I was content to be independent and didn't need anyone else to feel happy.

Never sitting home by the telephone
I wasn't sitting around waiting for someone to call me.

I couldn't complain that I didn't have much to do
I didn't feel the need to complain about being bored or aimless in my life.

I was a two fisted woman looking for a fight
I was a strong, assertive woman who wasn't afraid of confrontation.

Had a boy on my left, a boy on the right
I had two men interested in me, one on each side of me.

But you burned me up like a chicken at a barbeque
You ignited a spark within me that consumed me entirely, like a chicken being cooked over an open flame.

Didn't see it coming into view
I wasn't prepared for my feelings for you to develop.

I was overwhelmed and overdue
My love for you came on suddenly and with great intensity, as if it had been brewing inside me for a long time.

I ain't gonna sweat it
I'm not going to worry about it or overanalyze it.

Caught me on the blind side unaware
My love for you came on suddenly and without warning, catching me completely off guard.

I may be a fool but I don't care
I recognize that my love for you may be irrational or foolish, but I'm willing to embrace it anyway.

I never knew what hit me
My love for you blindsided me, and I didn't see it coming at all.

Trying to visualize what's wrong with me
I'm attempting to understand why I fell in love with you and what it says about me.

Got me hypnotized, I cannot see
My love for you has me so entranced that I can't think clearly or objectively about the situation.

Boy you really got me
You have a powerful and undeniable hold over me.

I fell in love
I developed a deep emotional attachment to you that I can't shake.

Oh I fell in love
My love for you is consuming and overwhelming.
