I Could Fall in Love
Selena Quintanilla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
'Cause I could take in my arms
And never let go
I could fall in love with you
I can only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
But I could fall in love, fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
Siempre estoy sonando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazandome con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podia amar a ti
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love, I could fall in love, with you

I could lose my heart tonight
I am at a risk of falling in love with you
If you don't turn and walk away
If you stay, I may not be able to resist my feelings and fall in love with you
'Cause the way I feel I might
My feelings for you are so strong that I might lose control
Lose control and let you stay
I might let you stay in my life and fall in love with you
'Cause I could take in my arms
I could embrace you and never let you go
And never let go
I would hold you tight forever
I could fall in love with you
I am ready to fall in love with you
I can only wonder how
I am curious about how it would feel to touch you
Touching you would make me feel
Being close to you would make me feel alive
But if I take that chance right now
If I express my feelings now
Tomorrow will you want me still
Will you still love me tomorrow if we start something today?
So I should keep this to myself
I am afraid to tell you how I feel and should keep it a secret
And never let you know
I do not want you to know my feelings, as I am not sure how you would react
And I know it's not right
I know that it is wrong to feel this way
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
I should try to fight my feelings and do what's right
But I could fall in love, fall in love with you
Despite knowing what's right and wrong, I know I could fall in love with you
Siempre estoy sonando en ti
I always dream about you
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Kissing my lips, caressing my skin
Abrazandome con ansias locas
Holding me tightly with crazy desire
Imaginando que me amas
Imagining that you love me
Como yo podia amar a ti
The way I could love you
I could fall in love, I could fall in love, with you
I am ready to take the chance of falling in love with you

I met Selena when I was 6.I had curly hair and I never liked it.I hated it. I always wanted strait hair.but when I met Selena she told me I had beautiful hair.So I kept my hair like that. so when I found out she died I didn't go to salons anymore because I wanted to remember her. Today my hair is still curly
