FALL IN LOVE
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
I don't mean to be thankless
But you're standing on my foot
You're putting all your things in my drawers
I never asked for you
And I don't mean to sound angry
But you're taking up my space
You spit your pretty words in my face
I never prepared for you
CHORUS:
If you paid all my rent (every single cent)
If you played with my cats (Louise and Josie)
Falling in love
I don't mean to sound bitchy
But you use all the hot water
Sleeping on the left side of my bed
I never reached for you
And I don't mean to be hostile
But you give me attention
And listen to all the things in my head
I never wanted you
CHORUS II:
If you gave me a kidney (lips and a lolly)
If you stood up for me (defended my honour)
Oh, God, I think I'm falling in love with you
CHORUS III:
If you protected me from monsters (demons and lawyers)
If you went and fetched the mail (and paid for the stamps)
I don't mean to be pushy
But you're coming home too late
We're spending less and less time alone
I never planned for you
And I don't mean to sound needy
But I just cannot let you go
The greatest man I have ever known
I never thought it'd be you
CHORUS IV:
If you make me feel beautiful (so celestine)
If you make me feel ten feet tall (like LSD)
If you shut down my resolve (I must admit)
If you made me fall in love (fall in love)
