Falling Down
The Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down
My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby

Told me that your love for me was true
Said you'd love me your whole life through
But now you're asking me to set you free
You've found some body you love more than me
My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down
My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby

I miss your loving that was so fine
I need it, I need it all of the time
For I still love you in the same old way
Yet I'm losing you a little every day

My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down
My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby





My whole world is falling down, falling down, falling down
My whole world is falling down, I'm losing my baby

“I’m overheated in my costume. I passed out.” ....*keeps costume on* 🤦‍♂️

@kystars

yes EXACTLY what I just posted. thats why I think it was fake. i could be wrong, but my guess.

@InDatParish

kystars I don’t think it’s fake, I think her excuse for why she passed out is a complete lie

@kystars

@@InDatParish well your opinion, I say fake as she is wearing the costume still when they come back on air. Yes I know she was probably was on drugs, but II still think it was fake because of wearing the costume still.
