In Love
Kooks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or if she's slim or she's fat
It doesn't matter at all when I fall, I fall
It's in the way that she walks
And in her smile when she talks
I'm simply losing my head and I fall
Always hiding from his own insanity
Like a bucket or a tinker
So confined within my personality
I met Sally at a bus stop
We fell in love and we got married inside my head
If she's a blonde or brunette
Or if she's slim or she's fat
It doesn't matter at all when I fall, I fall
It's in the way that she walks
And in her smile when she talks
I'm simply losing my head and I fall, I fall
In love
Now Sally says that I just linked her
Never ever show responsibility
To be honest, I'm a gringo
Caroling to anything too good for me
Julie called me in a boot shop
We were lost and hit it off in her cabriolet
If she's a blonde or brunette
Or if she's slim or she' fat
It doesn't matter at all when I fall, I fall
It's in the way that she walks
And in her smile when she talks
I'm simply losing my head and I fall, I fall
Mary stole my car to Reno
But I really liked to taste of her lips so sweet
It happens everytime I meet
Another girl, now it's you (uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)
If she's a blonde or brunette
Or if she's slim or she's fat
It doesn't matter at all when I fall, I fall
It's in the way that she walks
And in her smile when she talks
I'm simply losing my head and I fall, I fall
In love (uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)
In love (uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)
In love (uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)
In love (uh uh uh uh uh uh uh)
