Since I Fell For You
Various Artists Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you just give love
And never get love
You better let love be part

I know that it's so
And yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you've gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

Well it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you

You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm still in love with you

Well I guess I'll never see the light

I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you, since I fell for you

When you just give love
If you love someone without any expectation of receiving it in return

And never get love
And you never receive it back

You better let love be part
It's better to let love be a part of your life, regardless of the outcome

I know that it's so
I understand that this is how it is

And yet I know
But even though I know this

I can't get you out of my heart
I cannot stop thinking about you

You made me leave my happy home
You caused me to leave my happy life behind

You took my love and now you've gone
You accepted my love and then left me

Since I fell for you
Ever since I fell in love with you

Love brings such misery and pain
Being in love can bring a lot of sorrow and suffering

I guess I'll never be the same
It seems that my life will never be the same again
