Think I'm Gonna Fall In Love With You
The Dooleys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you dancin' on that hot and crowded floor
And from that moment baby I knew it
You looked like no one that I'd ever seen before
With every step you're pulling me through it
O-o-o when I held you, I thought I could resist
Thought I was strong, guess I was wrong
'cause when I try to say, forget you and walk away
I just can't do it

'cause I think I'm gonna fall in love with you
O-oh baby, I think I'm gonna fall, yes I do
Ah-o-oh I think I'm gonna fall in love with you
I never wanted to, but then

Whoa-oh baby, I think I'm gonna fall in love with you
Whoa-o-oh, I think I'm gonna fall, yes I do
I think I'm gonna fall in love with you
Here comes that feeling once again

I've known a lot of girls, I've really been around
One night of lovin', never forget her
Each time I do it with another hand-me-down
Like a fool I never knew better

'cause when I hold you, you really touch my heart
This something I feel, has gotta be real
Now day by day I find, you're ever on my mind
I just can't help it
And I think I'm gonna fall in love with you
O-oh baby, I think I'm gonna fall, yes I do
Ah-a-ah I think I'm gonna fall in love with you
I never wanted to, but then

Whoa-oh baby, I think I'm gonna fall in love with you
Whoa-o-oh, I think I'm gonna fall, yes I do
I think I'm gonna fall in love with you
Here comes that feeling once again





Ye-e-ah, I think I'm gonna fall in love with you
O-oh baby, I think I'm gonna fall, yes I do
