Catch Me I'm Fallin'
Esther Phillips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
(That) my sometime is now

Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
(That) my someplace is here

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charm
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I've found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue




Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you
