Falling In Love
Gloria Estefan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two of hearts, lace and satin, something in the air
Feel like another crook that's been captured by your stare

Uh-oh, uh-oh
Falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, and I don't want to no, no, no
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling, falling

Jealous feelings, reappearing, such a wicked dare
I'm just so damned confused and I wonder, do you care?

Uh-oh, uh-oh
Falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, and I don't want to no, no, no
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling, falling

Like walking in the park
Or dancing in the dark
Just want to hold you through out the night

Prince of fire, sweet desire, with devil may you care
Release me from your spell
I don't want this, love ain't fair

I'm falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Falling in love
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling, falling
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again Uh-oh, uh-oh, and I don't want to no, no, no




Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling in love, falling in love again
Uh-oh, uh-oh, falling, falling

Overall Meaning

In "Falling in Love," Gloria Estefan sings about the mixed emotions that come with falling in love, particularly the confusion and jealousy that can arise. The song opens with the image of "two of hearts, lace and satin, something in the air," a romantic and sensual scene that sets the stage for the emotional rollercoaster that follows. Estefan describes the feeling of being entranced by someone's gaze, feeling like "another crook that's been captured". However, the chorus reveals that she doesn't necessarily want to fall in love again, expressing her hesitation through the repeated phrases "Uh-oh, uh-oh, and I don't want to, no, no, no".


As the song progresses, the singer's conflicting emotions become more pronounced. She describes "jealous feelings reappearing," acknowledging that being in love can come with its own set of challenges and difficulties. She seems unsure of her partner's feelings, wondering "do you care?" These doubts are interwoven with moments of pure bliss and passion, such as "walking in the park" and "dancing in the dark" with her love.


The final verse introduces a more sinister element to the song, with the mention of a "Prince of fire" who holds the singer under a "spell." She acknowledges that "love ain't fair" and that she doesn't want to give in to the emotions that the Prince (or her own heart) might be trying to evoke. Despite this, the singer can't escape the fact that she is "falling in love again."


Overall, Gloria Estefan portrays the complexity of love through her lyrics, capturing the mix of joy, confusion, jealousy, and fear that often comes with the territory.

As a 55 yr old guy, this song takes me back to a time and place, only folks around my own age would understand - 80s, I miss those days...

@vannjunkin8041

Right With you Fran!! Golden passage of time the 80s were..

@issues9828

The culture was so much more creative back then. People took risks, and BOLD risks, whether that was career risks, shooting to get into a great college, going after that hot girl who seemed unattainable. And the risks paid off --- so often people succeeded with these bold risks.

I've also noticed that in music the artists collaborated so much more. You saw individual artists partnering more --- Bowie and Queen, Mick Jagger producing for Peter Wolf, Stevie Nicks doing duets, Rod Stewart and Ronald Isley. Live Aid, Do They Know It's Christmastime. Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

It was so dynamic.

I was just a kid but I remember those days like it was yesterday.. Punk rockers, Mohawks, cassette tapes, malls were the hangout spot , the cars πŸš—, Madonna was my Mom’s favorite person, Shows like Fraggel Rock and we always ate at blimpies

@UPBEATFOREVER

I like duets back then. George Michael and Aretha Franklin- I Knew You Were Waiting /a couple duets of Michael Jackson and Sir Paul McCartney- Say,Say,Say! and The Dog Gone Girl is mine. / Ooooh....last but not least Eddie Money ft. Ronnie Spector-Take Me Home Tonight

One of my absolute favorite songs by Gloria. I am so glad I got to see her in concert in the 80s. Awesome show.
