Falling In Love With Love
Paula Greer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love is playing the fool
Caring too much in such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just for children in school

I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, With love everlasting
But love fell out with me

I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see




I fell in love with love, With love everlasting
But love fell out with me

Overall Meaning

Paula Greer's song "Falling In Love With Love" is a soft and melancholic track that delves into the complexities of love. The chorus, "Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe", introduces the idea that falling in love with love itself, rather than a person, is like chasing after an idealized version of love that may not exist. The lyrics suggest that this kind of love can turn us into fools, as we become infatuated with the fantasy of love and forget about reality. The line "Caring too much in such a juvenile fancy" further emphasizes this point by suggesting that this type of love is childish and immature.


The second verse of the song reveals the personal experience of the singer falling in love with love. "I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full / I was unwise with eyes unable to see" describes the vulnerability and naivety of falling for an idea rather than a person. The phrase "love everlasting" shows how strong and enduring this feeling was. However, the final line "But love fell out with me" conveys the inevitable disappointment and heartbreak that comes from falling in love with love itself.
