My dress fit me so nice, my hair lookin' so right
You're nowhere to be found
I fluffed all the pillows, for me to lay with you
You're making it so hard
When it should be easy, but you got it easy
Cause you know I won't leave
I do all I can, ya don't understand
I wanna fall in love, love
I wanna fall in love, whoa
I wanna fall in love
(catch me catch me catch me catch me)
But you gotta catch me
(catch me catch me catch me catch me)
Oh
But you gotta catch me
You don't answer your phone
And I'm only calling to see how ya doing
If you're coming home
A little attention, is all that I'm asking
Cause love should never hurt
As much as I want you, my heart's always cryin'
But I can't cut you loose
I do all I can but you don't understand
I wanna fall in love, that's all I wanna do
I wanna fall in love, oh
I wanna fall in love
(catch me catch me catch me catch me)
But you gotta catch me
(catch me catch me catch me catch me)
Oh
But you gotta catch me, oh catch me catch me
Oh I
And I stay cryin'
But I keep tryin' yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You gotta know babe
You ain't perfect
I wanna fall in love, can you can you can you can you
I wanna fall in love, fall in love oh I
I wanna fall in love
(catch me catch me catch me catch me)
But you gotta catch me
(catch me catch me catch me catch me)
Oh
But you gotta catch me
I wanna fall in love love love
The lyrics to "Catch Me" by Monica showcase the artist's desire to be loved and appreciated by someone who seems distant and uninvolved in the relationship. The lyrics are filled with Monica's frustration and sadness at being ignored, as well as her determination to keep trying to make the relationship work.
Monica starts by questioning why her partner wasn't around, even though she was ready for a romantic evening. She expresses moving in bed, fluffing the pillows, and preparing for a memorable night, but her partner is nowhere to be found. Monica finds it hard because she feels that the relationship should be easy but instead it feels like she is putting in all the effort while her partner is ignoring her.
Monica then reveals that she just wants her partner's attention and care without hurting her. Despite her partner not answering their phone and her constantly crying, Monica still tries to make the relationship work because all she wants is to fall in love. The lyrics suggest Monica's partner is not perfect and may have faults, but she just wants someone to catch her and love her unconditionally.
