Let's Fall in Love
Diane Schuur & Maynard Ferguson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast

I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast





Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Diane Schuur and Maynard Ferguson's song "Let's Fall In Love" speak to the idea of being enamored with love, but ultimately feeling unsatisfied and disappointed with the fleeting nature of it. The repetition of the first two lines in each stanza emphasizes the singer's struggle with falling in love too quickly and easily, despite knowing that it may not lead to long-lasting love. The mention of being "fooled in the past" adds a layer of vulnerability to the lyrics, suggesting that previous heartbreaks have not dissuaded the singer from continuing to pursue love.


The use of the word "terribly" in the second line of each stanza further emphasizes the intensity at which the singer falls in love, perhaps to their own detriment. The repetition of the final line drives home the point that despite past experiences, the singer continues to struggle with balancing the desire for love with the reality that it may not be sustainable.


Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of bittersweet longing for the rush of falling in love, but also the fear and disappointment that often come with it.
