Since I Fell For You
George A. Johnson Jr. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so, and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do?
I'm so in love with you

I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night




Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you

Line by Line Meaning

When you just give love
When you show love to someone


And never get love
But that love is never reciprocated


You'd better let love depart
It's best to move on and let the love fade away


I know it's so, and yet I know
I understand that letting go is the right thing to do


I can't get you out of my heart
But I can't help but still love you


You made me leave my happy home
You were the reason I had to abandon my happy life


You took my love and now you're gone
You accepted my love, only to leave me afterward


Since I fell for you
Ever since I fell in love with you


Love brings such misery and pain
Love can cause so much suffering


I guess I'll never be the same
I may never be able to fully recover or move on from this love


Well, it's too bad
It's unfortunate


And it's too sad
And it's really sad


But I'm in love with you
But I'm still hopelessly in love with you


You love me, then you snub me
You show me affection but then reject me afterward


But what can I do?
But I'm powerless to change my feelings


I'm so in love with you
I'm just so deeply in love with you


I guess I'll never see the light
I may never see the end of this pain and heartache


I get the blues most every night
And I feel sad and lonely almost every night


Since I fell for you
Ever since I fell in love with you
