Let's Fall In Love
Peaches & Herbs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You only get lies, pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you fall in love?
What do you get when you fall in love?
What do you get when you fall in love?
The lyrics to the Peaches & Herb song "Let's Fall In Love" convey a rather cynical view of love, one that suggests that falling in love only leads to disappointment, heartache, and lies. The opening line, "What do you get when you fall in love?" is a rhetorical question that seeks to challenge the idea that love is a positive force in our lives. The singer then goes on to answer the question herself: "You only get lies, pain and sorrow."
This sentiment is echoed in the later lines, where the singer states, "So for at least until tomorrow, I'll never fall in love again." The use of the word "at least" suggests that this decision to avoid love may only be temporary, but it also underscores the singer's reluctance to open herself up to the potential pain that comes with falling in love.
Overall, the lyrics capture a certain cynicism that can develop in response to repeated disappointments in love. While it is true that love can be painful and difficult, the song's message is ultimately a pessimistic one that overlooks the potential for joy and fulfillment that love can bring.
