(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´ someone, losin´ 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
