Fall In Love
The Dramatics Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you hear me
If I called your name out loud
Could you see me
With your head stuck in a cloud

How can you see
That I'm in love with you
But you just walk on by

Head up high
Hung up on yourself
Oh

Fall in love, lady love
Be my lady, please lady love

You can touch me
If you would just hold out your hand
I'm always near you
Trying hard as I can

To make you notice
That i;m in love with you
When you ignore me so
Wandering to and fro
Hung up on yourself
Oh

Fall in love, lady love
Be my lady , please lady love

I'm so in love with you, lady love
Be my lady, please lady love
Fall in love, lady love
Be my lady, please lady love

I'm so in love with you, lady love
Be my lady , please lady love

Fall in love

The song ends with the same plea and the same feeling of deep longing and unrequited love that is sure to tug at the heartstrings of the listener.

Line by Line Meaning

Would you hear me
If I spoke your name aloud, would you actually listen to me?

If I called your name out loud
If I shouted your name at the top of my lungs

Could you see me
Could you actually notice my presence

With your head stuck in a cloud
When you're daydreaming or distracted

How can you see
How can you not see and realize how I feel about you

That I'm in love with you
My love for you is real and true

But you just walk on by
You don't acknowledge my love for you

Head up high
You walk with arrogance and pride

Hung up on yourself
You're too focused on your own vanity to notice me

Fall in love, lady love
I want you to fall in love with me, my lady love

Be my lady, please lady love
Please be my lady and love me in return
