It's the Falling in Love
Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
You got me falling in love, got me falling in love
You're not like anybody I ever knew
But that don't mean that I don't know where we are
And though I find myself attracted to you
This time I'm trying not to go too far, cause
No matter how it starts it ends the same
Someone's always doing someone more
Trading in the passion for that taste of pain
It's only gonna happen again
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
All night, all night
And though I'm trying not to look in your eyes
Each time I do they kind of burn right through me
Don't want to lay down in a bed full of lies
And yet my heart is saying come and do me
Now we're just a web of mystery
A possibility of more to come
I'd rather leave the fantasy of what might be
But here I go falling again
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
The lyrics to Michael Jackson's "It's The Falling In Love" feat. Siedah Garrett's song, speaks to the exhilarating feeling of falling in love, mixed with the fear and uncertainty of where it may lead. The first verse starts with the singer acknowledging that it's the feeling of falling in love that's giving them a rush, while at the same time, being in love is what's causing them to cry with emotion. The chorus then repeats the sentiment of the first verse, emphasizing the euphoria and weight of falling in love.
Moving on, the second verse portrays the conflict that arises when one finds themselves attracted to someone who's different from anyone they've known before. The singer admits that they're drawn to this person, but they're hesitant to dive too deep, knowing how easily things can end badly in relationships. The bridge highlights how all relationships, regardless of how it starts, seem to end the same way—someone always ends up doing someone wrong, leading to heartbreak. Finally, the last verse portrays the singer's inner struggle to deny their attraction and avoid getting hurt again. But, despite their best efforts, they find themselves falling in love once again.
Overall, the song paints a picture of the intense feelings and apprehensions that come along with falling in love. It acknowledges how scary and uncertain relationships can be, but ultimately reminds us of the irresistible pull that love has over us.

@celestialknight2326
Some of my friends ridiculed me for saying Michael Jackson is my favorite artist, even going as far as mocking his physical appearance....lets just say I dont even talk to them anymore, Michael's music saved me from severe depression
@andremiller7725
Michael's music has soothed Tens of Millions of people, for 5 decades. You gotta focus on how the music makes u feel inside. His voice was a gift from his soul to our soul. Soul to Soul. If ur friends dont get u digging Michael u probably need to cut them loose. Digging Mike is being Cool
@terrellgrant1570
Get the same hate 😜❤️
@SENATORPAIN1
Sounds pretty stupid too me.
@OMGshaan
My “friends” did the same for me with The Weeknd… they teased me everyday for listening to him, and then he performed in the Super Bowl my senior year.

@DavidRichardson95
One of the most criminally underrated songs along with I Can't Help It. This whole album knocked. Wish music still sounded like this in 2016. Real instruments, real production, real music! RIP MJ.
