Tumbling Down
Katy B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loving me right
You fill my dreams with sweetness all through the night
Until the sky turns red
I'm stuck, I'm sugar craving
A honey pool I bathe in
(Verse)
Out love is shining like a jewel on a crown
I'll place it on your head
Fit for a ceremony
Say I'm your one and only
(Pre-Chorus)
It's so natural, magical, wonderful
Scrambling for what you give, I want it all
And every day a little more, I feel the fall
I feel the fall
(Chorus)
I'm tumbling down
This wall that I built falls down before me
Crumbling down
Say it's the beginning of a beautiful story
I'm tumbling, crumbling,
Right down to love, to love
(Verse)
Down on my knees
You got my temperature 100 degrees
My t-shirt's soaking wet
You bring the heat, the fever
My girl said you'd hurt me but I won't believe her
(Verse)
Nothing before
Could ever come between this love I adore
There's nothing she could say
To shock me or surprise me
I'll keep your secrets, be the lock on your diary
(Pre-Chorus)
It's so natural, magical, wonderful
Scrambling for what you give, I want it all
And every day a little more, I feel the fall
I feel the fall
(Chorus)
I'm tumbling down
This wall that I built falls down before me
Tumbling down
Say it's the beginning of a beautiful story
I'm tumbling, crumbling,
Right down to love, to love
(Bridge)
In your arms, a heaven tailored just for me
A state so calm, yet so full of energy
Brick by brick, you take my pry, give it away
Caught me quick when said I was here to stay
I'm tumbling down (x3)
(Chorus)
I'm tumbling down
This wall that I built falls down before me
Crumbling down
Say it's the beginning of a beautiful story
I'm tumbling, crumbling,
Right down to love, to love

Caught me quick when said I was here to stay
When you told me you were committed to me, I knew I was in love with you
I'm tumbling, crumbling, right down to love, to love
I am falling apart and completely infatuated with you and our love

@WillDance4Food
Honestly her voice suits the RnB genre more than dance. I love when she slows it down and you can hear every nuance of her voice. I swear the BRIT school churns out some of the greatest voices.
@user-pw4ph1dp2l
She makes singing like that look so easy! She's perfect 😍
@serkanhubble954
She is absolutely amazing ... <3 I love her so much ... unbelievable ... "Tumbling Down", "Crying for no reason", "lights on", "Easy please me", "Aliyah", "Why you always here" !!! All number one hits on my playlist !!
