Can't Help Needing
Sarah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too




For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sarah Menescal’s version of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” convey the singer’s hesitation and inner conflict as they fall in love with someone. The opening lines of “wise men say, only fools rush in” suggest that the singer is aware of the potential consequences of falling in love too quickly. However, they continue by confessing that they “can’t help falling in love” with this person despite their better judgment.


The next stanza raises the question of whether it would be wrong to stay with this person if it means giving in to their love. The final lines of the song seem to resolve that the love between the two people is as natural and inevitable as a river flowing to the sea. The repeated lines of “take my hand, take my whole life too” indicate the singer’s desire to give themselves fully to this love, even if it means abandoning their initial reservations.


Overall, the lyrics suggest that love is a powerful force that can overcome even the most rational and cautious of individuals. The use of natural imagery, such as the river, also highlights the idea that love is a natural part of life and that there may be a greater plan at work in bringing two people together.
