I Could Fall in Love
Selena Quintanilla Perez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could lose my heart tonight
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 you in my arms
And never let go

CHORUS:
I could fall in love with you, (baby)
I could fall in love with you, (baby)

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, (baby)
I could fall in love with you, (baby)

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, (mb)
fall in love with you, (baby)
I could fall in love with you, (baby)

(-spanish solo-)
Siempre estoy so'ando en ti
besando mis labios,
acariciando mi piel,
abrazandome con ansias
imaginando que me amas
como yo podria amarte.

So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know

(CHORUS)
I could fall in love, (I could fall in love,
I could fall inlove, (fall in love)
with you!, (baby)... (mb)...





I could fall in love, fall in love with you! (baby)...
I could fall in love, fall in love with you!, (baby)...

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
