(marvin hamlisch/carole bayer sager)



I'm afraid to fly

And I don't know why

I'm jealous of the people who

Are not afraid to die



It's just that I recall

Back when I was small

Someone promised that they'd catch me

And then they let me fall



And now I'm fallin'

Fallin' fast again

Why do I always take a fall

When I fall in love



You'd think by now I'd learn

Play with fire you get burned

But fire can be oh so warm

And that's why I return



Turn and walk away

That's what I should do

My head says go and find the door

My heart says I've found you



And now I'm fallin'

Fallin' fast again

Why do I always take a fall

When I fall in love



Help me I'm fallin'

Fallin' fast again

Why do I always take a fall

When I fall in love



(it always turns out the same

When I fall)

Lovin' someonelosin' myself

Only got me to blame



Help me I'm fallin'

Fallin'

Catch me if you can

Maybe this time I'll have it all

Maybe I'll make it after all

Maybe this time I won't fall

When I fall in love
