Let's Fall In Love
Ella Fitzgerald. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be or not to be--let our hearts discover
I have a feeling; it's a feeling I'm concealing; I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling? I am falling; love is calling; why be shy?
Let's fall in love
Our hearts are made of it; let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it?
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it; still, we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be--let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
The song Let's Fall in Love by Ella Fitzgerald is a romantic song about two people who might have been meant for each other, but are hesitant to fall in love. The opening lyrics of the song express the possibility of two people being destined for each other, but it is up to their hearts to discover the truth. The singer admits to having feelings for the other person, but is concealing these emotions without any particular reason. She refers to this as a mental, incidental, and sentimental alibi.
The chorus of the song encourages the two to take a chance and fall in love. The idea is that if love is in their hearts, then they have nothing to be afraid of. The singer suggests that they close their eyes and create their own paradise, and even though they may not know much about love yet, they should try to make it work. The final line of the chorus, "Let's fall in love," is a simple yet powerful declaration of the singer's desire for the two of them to take this chance.
The song's message is timeless and continues to resonate with audiences around the world. It is about the vulnerability of falling in love and the importance of taking risks in life, especially in matters of the heart. The music conveys a sense of longing and hope that is both romantic and inspiring.

Birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
In Spain, the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and Letts do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Finns
Folks in Siam do it; think of Siamese twins
Some Argentines without means do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Romantic sponges, they say, do it
Oysters down in oyster bay do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Cold cape cod clams 'gainst their wish do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Electric eels, I might add, do it
Though it shocks 'em I know
Why ask if shad do it? Waiter, bring me shad roe
In shallow shoals English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
