I Couldn’t Help Falling For You Lyrics
[Verse 1: Marvin Gaye]
I used to be a stubborn kind of fella, babe
A real mean-hearted guy, I was so mean
'Til you came along and got a hold of this old heart of mine
Yes, you did
I just couldn’t resist you, baby
No matter how hard I tried, no, no
Even your kiss made me tremble like a leaf
Blowing in the wilderness
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
I felt just like Jack and Jill, falling down the hill
I couldn't help falling for you
[Verse 2: Kim Weston]
I was Hard-Running Hannah, heartbreaker on the loose, yes I was
'Til you came along and upset me
Yeah, you cooked my goose, mhm
I wanted you to hold me, darling
And never never turn me loose
Ooh, the sound of your voice made me shake like a lonely shack
Trembling in an earthquake
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
Just like the walls of Jericho, tumbling down, you know
I couldn’t help falling for you
I used to be a stubborn kind of fella, babe
A real mean-hearted guy, I was so mean
'Til you came along and got a hold of this old heart of mine
Yes, you did
I just couldn’t resist you, baby
No matter how hard I tried, no, no
Even your kiss made me tremble like a leaf
Blowing in the wilderness
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
I felt just like Jack and Jill, falling down the hill
I couldn't help falling for you
[Verse 2: Kim Weston]
I was Hard-Running Hannah, heartbreaker on the loose, yes I was
'Til you came along and upset me
Yeah, you cooked my goose, mhm
I wanted you to hold me, darling
And never never turn me loose
Ooh, the sound of your voice made me shake like a lonely shack
Trembling in an earthquake
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
Just like the walls of Jericho, tumbling down, you know
I couldn’t help falling for you
[Bridge: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
Yeah, yeah, I'm falling, falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling for you, baby
Ooh, I'm falling, falling, falling just for you, yes, I am
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
Like Humpty Dumpty on the wall, had to go and fall
Couldn't help falling for you
[Verse 3: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
I'm gonna love you, yes, I am
Come winter, spring or fall
I won't ever look at anybody else at all, no, no
Oh, if you ever need me, baby
I'm gonna be at your beckoned call, yes, I am
Your smile made me swing and sway like apples from a tree
On a windy day
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
It's like Rome fell in a day, I felt just that way
Couldn’t help falling for you
[Outro: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
Hey, I’m falling, falling, falling, falling just for you, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm falling, I’m falling, I'm falling, falling for you, baby
Yeah, yeah, I'm falling, falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling for you, baby
Ooh, I'm falling, falling, falling just for you, yes, I am
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
Like Humpty Dumpty on the wall, had to go and fall
Couldn't help falling for you
[Verse 3: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
I'm gonna love you, yes, I am
Come winter, spring or fall
I won't ever look at anybody else at all, no, no
Oh, if you ever need me, baby
I'm gonna be at your beckoned call, yes, I am
Your smile made me swing and sway like apples from a tree
On a windy day
[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
It's like Rome fell in a day, I felt just that way
Couldn’t help falling for you
[Outro: Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston]
Hey, I’m falling, falling, falling, falling just for you, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm falling, I’m falling, I'm falling, falling for you, baby
