Falling in love with love
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her, sets your heart afire to stay

Once you're kissed by Amy, tear up your list it's Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers, moon a million hours away

You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover so carefree and bold
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over and just quits cold

But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever sweetly you'll romance her, trouble is the answer will be
That Amy would rather stay in love with me

Always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her, sets your heart afire to stay

Get rid of your list it's Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers, moon a million hours away

You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover so carefree and bold
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over and just quits cold

But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy




Ever and ever sweetly you'll romance her, trouble is the answer will be
That Amy would rather stay in love with me

Overall Meaning

The Rat Pack's song "Once in Love with Amy" highlights the feelings of being smitten with a girl named Amy. The opening line "Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy" portrays the power Amy has over the singer's heart. The lyrics go on to describe how Amy's charm and allure have captivated the singer and they can't help but be constantly fascinated by her. The second verse emphasizes the idea that once someone has had a taste of what it's like to be with Amy, they won't be interested in anyone else. The singer suggests that plying her with gifts and attention is the only way to keep her interested.


The next verse references the fickle nature of some men when it comes to love. The singer points out that some men may love a girl for a while and then quickly move on to someone else, but that is not the case with Amy. The chorus repeats the sentiment that once someone is in love with Amy, they will always be in love with Amy. The final line, "That Amy would rather stay in love with me," implies a possessiveness over Amy and that the singer sees himself as the one true love of Amy's life.
