Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don’t wanna fall in love
Baby you came right away
Right away and changed it all
Lately I’ve been sayin’
I don’t wanna fall in love
No matter how much I’m contemplatin’
Never seem to get enough
Right now it seems a little bit much
Girl I feel so out of touch
Right now I can’t afford to misjudge
Baby don’t go
Found my way to you
It’s so irrational
Don’t know what to do
Everything one-hundred I’m all in, I’m committed
Promise me that loyalty and trust are permitted
All that you’ve been sayin’ hittin’ me like a riddle
Can’t afford to lose you
Should I make a move?
Don’t think I’m ready though
Lately I’ve been sayin’ (I’ve been sayin’)
I don’t wanna fall in love (No)
Baby you came right away (Right away)
Right away and changed it all (Yeah)
Lately I’ve been sayin’
I don’t wanna fall in love
Baby I didn’t plan on waitin’
But now it’s hard to get enough
I don’t wanna fall in love (No)
Right now it seems a little bit much
Girl I feel so out of touch (Touch, touch)
Right now I can’t afford to misjudge
Gotta hold myself accountable
Caught some feelings undeniable
Girl you told me what I need to know
Not a rush, I gotta take it slow
But baby here I am
Layin’ wide awake at 2am
Tryna’ figure out just where we stand
Baby if you’re down, I’m down to try
But first you’ve gotta know
Lately I’ve been sayin’ (Ooh)
I don’t wanna fall in love (No)
Baby you came right away (Right away)
Right away and changed it all (Yeah)
Lately I’ve been sayin’
I don’t wanna fall in love
No matter how much I’m contemplatin’
Never seem to get enough
I don’t wanna fall in love (No)
Right now it seems a little bit much
Girl I feel so out of touch (I feel so out of touch)
Right now I can’t afford to misjudge
I don’t wanna fall in love (Love, love)
Right now it seems a little bit much
Girl I feel so out of touch
Right now I can’t afford to misjudge
