Fall In Love
Harry S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just no good
(Fall in love with him)
You know that you should
(Fall in love with him)
I wish that you would
(Fall in love with him)
If only you could
(Fall in love with him)

More than my friend he's been my brother
He's said to me he's dreamed you'd be his wife,
When I think of you it's as just another lover
It's a simple choice of how you see your life.

A singer's just another traveling salesman
Another night, another town to sell my wares,
And the times that you'd be riding the excitement
Won't make up for times when no one would be there.

He's an open book why don't you read him?
He's already hooked why don't you lead him?
Take a look you just might need him someday
In some way.
I'm the medicine man I've started to mumble
A tight-rope walker I've started to stumble.
Humpty Dumpty already tumbled down

Haven't you found
It's just no good
(Fall in love with him)
You know that you should
(Fall in love with him)
I wish that you would
(Fall in love with him)
If only you could
(Fall in love with him).

You know I never thought I'd ever hear me saying this
Turning down a chance for touching something fine,
But I'd rather have you happy and completely his
Then have you waiting for me when I find the time.

He's an open book why don't you read him?
He's already hooked why don't you lead him?
Take a look you just might need him someday
In some way.
And I'm the medicine man I've started to mumble
A tight-rope walker I've started to stumble.

Humpty Dumpty already tumbled down

Haven't you found
It's just no good
(Fall in love with him)
You know that you should
(Fall in love with him)
I wish that you would
(Fall in love with him)
If only you could
(Fall in love with him).

(Fall in love with him)
You know that you could
(Fall in love with him)
I wish that you would
(Fall in love with him)
If only you could
(Fall in love with him)
It's just no good




(Fall in love with him)
You know that you should.

Overall Meaning

The song "Fall in love" by Harry S. is a bittersweet reflection on unrequited love. The singer is in love with the same woman as his friend, who has already expressed his feelings to her. The first verse, with its repeating line "Fall in love with him," highlights the singer's frustration with the situation, as he wishes his love interest would choose his friend instead of him. However, the singer ultimately comes to realize that it's not fair to keep the woman waiting, and he would rather see her happy with his friend than pining for him.


The lyrics contain several metaphors, such as the singer being a "medicine man" and "tight-rope walker," suggesting he is trying to perform a balancing act between his feelings and his loyalty to his friend. He also compares himself to "Humpty Dumpty," implying that he has already fallen and is unable to pick up the pieces.


Overall, "Fall in love" is a poignant exploration of the complexities of love, friendship, and loyalty. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most loving thing to do is to step back and let others be happy.
