Fell For You
The Dramatics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a star, slipping out of place
Sliding from the sky, tumbling through space
When you touch my hand,
I swear I feel like I'm falling
(falling, falling, falling)
Seems like I'm falling
(falling, falling, falling)
Like a wheel whirling, round and round,
Rolling down a hill (rolling-down-a-hill)
Spinning on the ground
Your kisses make my dizzy
In the head and I'm falling,
(falling, falling, falling)
Falling
(falling, falling, falling)

Uh-oh girl,
I think that I have fell for you
Uh-oh girl,
I think that I have fell for you

I was a bird soaring, through the air
Flying fancy free, without a care
Until you clipped my wings
Now look at me
Oh, I'm falling
(falling, falling, falling)
Yeah, falling
(falling, falling, falling)

Oh here I go, down and down I go
I can't help myself
Girl you thrill me so
Yeah you blew my mind
And I know, that I'm falling
(falling, falling, falling)
Yes, I'm falling
(falling, falling, falling)

Uh-oh girl,
I think that I have fell for you
Uh-oh girl,
I think that I have fell for you

Oh, down, down, down I go (falling)
Oh, down, down, down I go (falling)
Oh, down, down, down I go (falling)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh-oh girl,
I think that I have fell for you
(seems like, seems like)
Uh-oh girl,
I think that I have fell for you




Uh-oh girl,
I think that I have fell for you

Overall Meaning

The Dramatics’s "Fell For You" is a song about the feeling of falling in love. The lyrics use various metaphors to describe the sensation of falling, such as "Like a star slipping out of place, tumbling through space" or "Like a wheel whirling, rolling down a hill." The singer is completely lost in love, as is shown when he says, "You blew my mind, and I know that I'm falling." The chorus repeats the phrase "Uh-oh girl, I think that I have fell for you" to stress the inevitability of love.


The lyrics also suggest that love has 'clipped' the singer's wings, as if he had previously been 'soaring, flying fancy free, without a care.' The language in this song vividly conveys the feeling of falling in love, a sensation of being powerless but blissful.


The song is a classic soul ballad that was released in 1974 by the Detroit-based soul group The Dramatics. Lead singer William "Wee Gee" Howard's soaring vocals give the song a heartfelt, romantic quality. One interesting fact about this song is that it was written by its producer, Ron Banks, who also sings backing vocals.
