Let's Fall In Love
MotherMother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the boys and the girls, and if I had to ante up
I'd bet on the birds, 'cause they don't have to get caught up
With the boys and the girls and a little game of cat and mouse
Mommy did it, daddy did it
The funny little monkeys in the zoo will do it
The stupid does it, the ugly do it
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love.
There's a game in the world, a little bit of cat and mouse
With the boys and the girls, and if I had to ante up
I'd bet on the birds, 'cause they don't have to walk around
With the boys and the girls and a little bit of cat and mouse
Mommy did it, daddy did it
Even though I bet they wish they really didn't
Mary did it, Joey did it
Even little baby baby Jesus did it
Yuppies do it, junkies do it
The funny little monkeys in the zoo will do it
The stupid does it, the foolish do it
Only the unlucky of us get to do it
Let's fall in love.
Let's fall in love.
Mommy did it, daddy did it
The funny little monkeys in the zoo will do it
The stupid does it, the ugly do it
Only the unlucky of us get to do it.
The lyrics to Mother Mother's song "Let's Fall in Love" explore the idea of romantic love as a game of cat and mouse. The singer suggests that the "birds" have an advantage because they don't get caught up in the game like the "boys and the girls." The repetitive chorus, "Let's fall in love," seems to suggest a willingness to engage in this game despite its complexities and potential pitfalls. The verses offer a humorous and somewhat cynical look at the idea of falling in love, noting that even "funny little monkeys in the zoo" and "the foolish" do it. The inclusion of "little baby baby Jesus" suggests that even the most innocent and pure are not immune to the game of love.
The lyrics also touch on the fact that love is often out of our control, as evidenced by the lines "Only the unlucky of us get to do it." This implies that love is a precarious and unpredictable thing, and that we may not always end up with the person we desire.
Overall, the lyrics present a somewhat conflicted view of love, recognizing its allure and excitement while also acknowledging its potential dangers and uncertainties.
