Sweet Louise
The Belle Brigade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you hear about me
Me and what I've done
I wrote a letter to sweet Louise
I confessed my love

And I thought that everyone would know by now
I've been alive long enough to know how things just get around
And everybody probably thinks I'm crazy
Well I'll just tell you now

That I fell in love and I couldn't help myself
I just fell in love and I couldn't help myself
"One, two, a one, two, three, four"

It was like a movie
Watching her eyes read
What I wrote made sweet Louise
Feel weak in her knees

And I thought that everyone would know by now
I've been alive long enough to know how things just get around
And everybody probably thinks I'm crazy
Well I'll just tell you now

That I fell in love and I couldn't help myself
I just fell in love and I couldn't help myself

In that moment you knew from her eyes
She don't feel the same
But oh my words were not in vain
'Cause I can always say till the day I die
That I, I told her anyway
Well I'll just tell you now

That I fell in love and I couldn't help myself
I just fell in love and I couldn't help myself
I just fell in love and I couldn't help myself
I just fell in love and I couldn't help myself





I just fell in love

Listening to this song breaks my heart now, knowing that after YEARS into being in a beautiful relationship, Dylan O'Brien and Britt Robertson broke up.. We still have The First Time to remember how they fell in love..💖
