The choice of an English stage name comes from Mike's direct contact with American culture.

Right after High School, although he thought of going to university, he began writing seriously his first songs, while at the same time studying composition and arrangement.

Since his first album "Let's not talk about it", including the hit "Survivor", Mike carried through his activity as an author and composer with great success, other than for himself as in "Let Me In", for other artists, in this particular case for Amii Stewart in "Friends" (already on top of both Black American and English charts) and "Together", where he is again author-composer.

The following year, he came out with his second LP, "Features", which shows undoubtedly his musical evolution as well as particular artistic inspiration. Among the ten songs within the album, starting with a prelude, we suggest you listen to "Features of Love" and "You can't get out of my Heart" to better comprehend the progressive growth of his musical personality. This album includes also the hit "Together", and the remake of two old hits "I'm not in Love" by 10 CC and "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers.

"Dusty Road" is another of Mike's great songs. A "Classics" or other greatest hits collections from Mike are also available for those who want to discover the music of this artist who specialized in a melodic and very sophisticated form of dance music.

Fall in Love
Mike Francis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was just a girl who knew the way
I was so naive
Everything she ever said to me
I wanted to believe
I was close to too far gone
When she sat down and
Told me tenderly
Don't fall in love with me

I'll only break your heart
For us forever is just tomorrow
Don't fall in love with me
Don't let the fire start
If you should fall
I'm afraid I'll follow you
Now I'm on the other side of love
Lookin' right at you
There you are so young and sure
Your life has room enough for two
So it's up to me to try and say
Words that didn't stop me yesterday
Don't fall in love with me
I'll only break your heart
For us forever is just tomorrow
Don't fall in love with me
Don't let the fire start

If you should fall
I'm afraid I'll follow you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mike Francis's song "Fall in Love" are filled with caution and hesitance regarding love. The singer reflects on his experience with a woman who warned him against falling in love with her. Despite his initial resistance, he finds himself on the "other side of love" and unable to resist her any longer. He acknowledges that she might break his heart and that "forever is just tomorrow" for them. The fear of hurting each other seems to hinder the potential for a successful love story, but their attraction is too strong.

The song's theme of avoiding love due to fear of heartbreak is relatable to many individuals. The lyrics convey the trepidation that comes with vulnerability and the fear of getting hurt. The woman warns the singer not to fall in love with her because she knows the risk involved in allowing herself to love fully. Despite the warning, the singer still falls for her and becomes just as afraid of hurting her as she is of hurting him.

The song is a poignant reminder of the complexities of love and relationships. It highlights the importance of communication and honesty in romantic relationships. The lyrics suggest that love is not a simple journey, but rather a complicated maze that requires all parties to be cautious and considerate. The song ends on an open note, leaving the listener to decide whether their love story closes with heartbreak or a happy ending.
