When I Fall in Love
Matt Monro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of the chains, the chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you give your heart
You get it all broken up and battered
That's what you get, a heart that's shattered
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
The lyrics to Matt Monro's song, When I Fall In Love, express a cynical view on love, focusing on the disappointments and heartbreaks that come with it. The first two stanzas suggest that falling in love is not worth the trouble, as it only brings lies, pain, and deception. The first stanza warns about the risks of falling in love and implies that the person you fall for may burst your bubble. The second stanza argues that even a simple kiss could lead to sickness, unwanted attention, and broken promises.
The chorus repeats the singer's pledge to never fall in love again, emphasizing the tone of the song as being pessimistic towards love. The third stanza serves as a rebuttal to anyone who tries to convince the singer to give love another chance. It highlights the negative aspects of being in a relationship, referring to chains that bind and cause emotional hardship.
The final stanza further cements the singer's decision to avoid love, acknowledging that giving one's heart to another only leads to heartbreak and emotional pain. In all, the lyrics suggest that while love may bring happiness and joy, it is not worth the risk of being hurt and suffering heartache.

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
(Oh let me give my heart)
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too (I feel that way too)
Is when I'll fall in love (I fall in love)
With you
When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
Oh I'll never never fall in love
In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to…

This man is a true legend.....a supremely talented singer , without doubt Britain's finest. Almost certainly under promoted by the faceless musical institutions of the sixties who were mainly focused on the money-making rock bands of the era. Matt Monroe's dulcet tones were more than a match for Frank Sinatra and his other American contemporaries but the British Music Moguls of his era failed to promote Matt to the heights that his fabulous talent so richly deserved
