I Don't Believe I'll Fall In Love Today
Wanda Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't believe I'll fall in love today old memories of you stand in the way
I just can't make my heart find someone new it's always much too busy loving you
So I don't believe I'll fall in love today for if I did I'm sure I wouldn't stay
You'd come between us like you always do somehow he'd never measure up to you
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find another in my heart and on my mind
Then I'll wake and hear my poor heart say that I don't believe I'll fall in love today
[ steel - guitar ]
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find...
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
