I Couldn’t Help Falling For You Lyrics by Marvin Gaye, Kim Weston

The Master (1961-1984)

1995

[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

[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
