Don't Fall In Love
Jessica Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast

I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jessica Williams's song Don't Fall in Love describe the artist's struggle with falling in love too quickly and too deeply. The repetition of the refrain, "I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast," emphasizes the singer's vulnerability and lack of control over her emotions when it comes to romantic love. The line, "for love to ever last," acknowledges the artist's awareness that her tendency to fall in love quickly has resulted in heartbreak and failed relationships in the past.


The second verse emphasizes that the artist's heart should be "well-schooled" and better equipped to handle the pitfalls of love due to her past experiences. However, despite her efforts to guard her heart, she still finds herself falling too easily for others.


Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the struggle to balance the desire for love and connection with the need to protect oneself from emotional pain. It's the emotional equivalent of shaking your head at your own foolishness in love even as you plunge headlong into another doomed relationship.
