Can't Help Falling in Love
Jessica Jay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life too




For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

Overall Meaning

Jessica Jay's version of "Can't Help Falling In Love" captures the essence of a love that cannot be denied despite the warnings of the sage. The song is the perfect mix of vulnerability and passion, telling the story of a person who knows the risks of falling in love, yet still chooses to take the plunge. The opening lines, "Wise men say, Only fools rush in" imply that the singer is aware of the risks involved in falling in love but is unable to resist the temptation of love. The repetition of "But I can't help falling in love with you" emphasizes the intensity of their attraction, despite the potential consequences.


Towards the end of the song, the lines "Like a river flows, surely to the sea. Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be" serve to emphasize the inevitability of their love. The imagery of a flowing river serves as a metaphor for the power and intensity of their emotions, which are bound to reach a natural conclusion. The final two lines "Take my hand, take my whole life too. For I can't help falling in love with you" reveal the total surrender of the singer to their beloved. They are willing to give up everything to be with their love, emphasizing the depth of their feelings.
