Nothing ever happens in the town
It's the same old thing when we go out
A new place to hang with the same crowd
I lucked up when you came and sat down
Now I'm here with you and I'm admiring the view
I hope you never ever never ever cut me loose
And I don't know what to do because...

I'm falling into something real
And I can't stop me
I'm knocking over everything
And you just caught me
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
Just wanna let you know know yo
I'm falling like a Domino

I'm falling, falling, falling just like a Domino
I'm falling, falling, falling just like a Domino
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
Just wanna let you know know yo
I'm falling like a Domino

Always said true love never happens
A little push caused this chain reaction
I never thought you'd be my distraction
I admit boy you got me crashin'
Now I'm here with you and I'm admiring the view
I hope you never ever never ever cut me loose
And I don't know what to do because...

I'm falling into something real
And I can't stop me
I'm knocking over everything
And you just caught me
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
Just wanna let you know know yo

I'm falling like a Domino
I'm falling, falling, falling just like a Domino
I'm falling, falling, falling just like a Domino
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
Just wanna let you know know yo

When it all comes down you gonna have my back
But when the last one falls baby we got that
You saying hoo, hoo what hoo hoo keep saying hoo hoo
