Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyday I get up and a frowns
Da one thing i no little girl
Da one thing i wa give you some more
Everyone fall in love sometime
I don't know 'bout you but it ain't a crime
Everyone fall in love sometime
Question I ask
Tell me what you want and what you really, really want to do
Tell me, baby girl, if your love is really true
Tell me what you want and what you really, really want to do
Tell me, baby girl, hey
And no have like no yo-yo
If you really love me let it flow-flow
And if you don't love me let me go-go
But I think the rude bwoy gon' let you know-know that
Everyone fall in love sometime
I don't know ?bout you but it ain't a crime
Everyone fall in love sometime
I don't know ?bout you but it ain't a crime
Beep, beep. the singer got the keys to the jeep
Vroom, a we pretty girl wa fi meet
So tell me what's up before me hitting the sheets
You see it, you see it, all 8, 9, 10
The whole a dem girl wa fi be our friend
A you me really love, why you want it fi end
You have mi brains a puzzled, me can't comprehend, but thenagain
Everyone fall in love sometime
I don't know 'bout you but it ain't a crime
Everyone fall in love sometime

Eh, you want me tell you something, girl
You want me tell you something, cho
Girl you have me reminiscing
When me 'member 'bout yuh loving and kissing
So tell me tell me, girl, why yuh want to be dissing
I try to talk to yuh, but yuh not listening
It's only logic for my love to be glistening
Baby Ema ought to know that something missing
Since it's late me a keep on flipping
So listening keenly to what me singi-singing
Everyone fall in love sometime
I don't know 'bout you but it ain't a crime
Everyone fall in love sometime

And if you don't love me let me go-go
But I think the rude bwoy gon? let you know-know that

In "Everyone Falls in Love", Devonte sings about the universal experience of falling in love. He starts off by saying that although he wakes up every day feeling down, the one thing that he knows for sure is that he wants to give his love to someone. The chorus is the crux of the song, as he asserts confidently that falling in love is not a crime, and it happens to everyone. He invites the person he's interested in to tell him what they want to do and if their love is true. He emphasizes that if they really do love him, then they should let it flow, but if not, then they should let him go.
In the second verse, Devonte uses Jamaican patois to describe the situation more vividly. He's getting ready to meet a girl in his jeep and he wants to know what's going on before they get intimate. He talks about how many girls he and his love interest could be friends with, but ultimately, he just wants to be with her, and he can't understand why she wants to end things. In the final verse, he laments the fact that she's not listening to him, and he wants to know what's missing from their love.
