Falling for Ya
Grace Phipps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The day started ordinary
Boys walking by (ooh ooh)
It was the same old story
Too fresh or too shy (ooh ooh)

I'm not the kind to fall for a guy
Who flashes a smile (It goes on for miles)
Don't usually swoon
But I'm over the moon ('Cause he was just too cool for school)

And now I'm
Falling for ya, falling for ya
I know I shouldn't but I
I just can't stop myself from
Falling for ya, falling for ya
Can't hold on any longer
And now I'm falling for you

Now we're going steady
He's the cat's meow (Meow Meow)
He says I'm a betty
And we paint the town (ooh ooh)

I'm not the kind to fall for a guy
Just cause he says hi (When he's cruisin' by)
He's ready to race
And I'm catching his gaze (They'll go on like this for days)

And now I'm
Falling for ya, falling for ya
I know I shouldn't but I
I just can't stop myself from
Falling for ya, falling for ya
Can't hold on any longer
And now I'm falling for ya

It feels like I tumbled from another world
Into your arms and it's so secure
Maybe I'll stumble but I know for sure
Head over heels I'm gonna be your girl

And now I'm
Falling for ya, falling for ya
I know I shouldn't but I
I just can't stop myself from
Falling for ya, falling for ya




Can't hold on any longer
And now I'm falling for you

Overall Meaning

The song "Falling for Ya" by Grace Phipps is a catchy tune about falling in love with someone unexpectedly. The lyrics describe an ordinary day, and the singer sees a guy who catches her eye. Despite not being the kind of person to fall for someone so easily, she finds herself drawn to him. The chorus repeats the phrase "Falling for ya" multiple times, emphasizing the strength and inevitability of her feelings. The verse describes them going on dates and painting the town together, and she even says that she feels secure with him.


One interesting aspect of this song is the use of slang, which gives the lyrics a playful and youthful vibe. Phrases like "cat's meow," "betty," and "too cool for school" are all examples of old-timey slang that was popular in the 1950s and 60s but has since fallen out of use. It's a fun way to add some personality to the lyrics and make them more unique.

ADAPTACIÓN ESPAÑOL

Chicos pasan frente a mi
Cada día
Era la misma historia
Vienen y se van

No soy de las
Que se enamoran
Por qué alguien me habla (sonríe y guiña)

No causa emoción
Pero en la luna estoy (por qué apareciste tú)

Y ahora soy tan tonta
Soy tan tonta

Se que no debería
Caer en tu brazos y
Soy tan tonta
Soy tan tonta

No puedo esperarte más
Y ahora caigo por ti
