I'll Never Fall In Love Again
The Ray Conniff Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That′s what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again.
I′ll never fall in love again.
What do you get when you kiss a gal?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
I'll never fall in love again.
I′ll never fall in love again.
Don′t tell me what is all about,
'Cause I′ve been there and I'm glad I′m out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you give your heart?
You get all broken, broken and battered
That′s what you get a heart that shattered
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
Don′t tell me what is all about,
′Cause I've been there and I′m glad I'm out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I′m here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow.
So, for at least until tomorrow,
I'll never fall in love again!
I′ll never fall in love again!
I'll never fall in love again!
The lyrics to The Ray Conniff Singers' classic tune "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" reflect a common refrain that many people know all too well - the pain of falling in love and getting hurt. The song's first stanza focuses on the disappointment that comes with romantic relationships, particularly the fact that people often invest so much effort in them without receiving anything in return. The second stanza takes a different route, emphasizing the physical risks that come with the territory, suggesting that emotions are not just an abstract concern but can impact one's health as well. Finally, the chorus drives home the song's overarching message - that falling in love is a losing game, a pursuit that only leads to lies and heartache. The lyrics suggest that it's better to avoid love entirely, to protect oneself from the pain and disappointment that inevitably come with it.
