Wood's career began in the mid 70s when she formed a band called Rebecca and the Sunnybrook Farmers. In 1976, Wood and her cousin Novi Novog and Ernie Eremitz formed the band Chunky, Novi and Ernie, which released two albums. In 1979, she went solo and released her self-titled album on Warner Bros. Records, which included the duet Please Don't Leave. The song went to #5 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart and #24 on the Pop Singles chart.
After her follow-up album, Cat Trick, Wood vanished from the music scene. However, she spent time writing and performing songs for television and movie soundtracks, including Fallen, the song used in Pretty Woman, which has been covered by singers such as Johnny Mathis, Larry Coryell, and Nicolette Larson.
In 1998, Wood founded her own record label, Bad Art Records. On this label, she released her third album, Lauren Wood, in 1998 and Love, Death and Customer Service in 2006.
Fallen
Lauren Wood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't believe how I have fallen for you
And I was not looking, was content to remain
And it's ironic to be back in the game
You are the one who's led me to the sun
How could I know that I was lost without you
And I want to tell you, you control my rain
And you should know that you are life in my veins
You are the one who's led me to the sun
How could I know, I was lost without you
Oh, I can't believe it, you're a dream coming true
Oh, I can't believe how I have fallen for you
And I was not looking, was content to remain
And it's erotic to be back in the game
Oh, oh, oh, you're a dream coming true
Oh, my, my, my, I have fallen for you
Ha, ah, ah, you're a dream coming true
Oh, my, my, my, I have fallen for you
Ah, Ah, oh, oh, oh, yeah, you're a dream coming true
Oh, my, my, my, I have fallen for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, you're a dream, you're a dream come true
The lyrics of Lauren Wood's song Fallen describe the unexpected feelings of falling in love.

The writer is perplexed by the change of heart, as she was not looking for someone, but has become content to be back in the game of love.
The singer's tone can be described as enchanted, infatuated and mesmerized, she has discovered something she never thought was possible. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the feeling of disbelief and shares the awestruck tone of the singer. The song contains an extended metaphor likening the lover to the sun, with the lover causing the singer's life to bloom like a plant in the sunshine, and to rain, with the lover controlling the singer's emotional world.
The lyrics of the song Fallen are a testament to the power of love, and how it can transform a person's life. The song celebrates love and the unexpected feelings that arise when one falls in love.
