Lyrics
- Did I trip, did I stumble
Am I gonna take a tumble?
Humpty Dumpty didn’t have a thing on me
It’s just like steppin’ on a banana peel
Let me tell you how I feel
Chorus
I feel myself slippin’
There goes the ship, I’m losin’ my grip
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna let go
I feel myself slippin’
I feel my heart skippin’
Thrown for a goal, it’s out of control
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, what is it you do?
I feel myself slippin’
Who wouldn’t fall for you?
You’re so nice
Where am I falling to?
Falling right into Paradise
I feel myself slippin’
Guess there’s nothing to do
I feel my heart skippin’
I feel myself slippin’
Head over heels in love with you
- There I go, I’m a goner
Thought I was a “hanger-on-er”
I’m the one who said I’d never fall in love
And until I looked at you my will was strong
Honey child, it won’t be long
