I'm not ready, how can I commit? I'm never going to fall for you...
Falling For You

Flags went up right from the start,
Too soon, slow down a bit.
Don't play those games with my heart,
I'm not ready to commit.

I'm never going to fall for you...

You keep calling everyday now,
Show up out of the blue.
Making moves I won't allow,
I'm not sure your heart's true.

I won't let myself fall for you...

Can't you see I need my space?
Still mourning a lost mate.
Who you think you can replace,
Say goodbye at the gate.

I'm so afraid I might fall for you...

Phone's not ringing off the hook,
Quiet here now I'm all alone.
Nose stuck in a boring book,
Ache inside, should have known.

I admit I'm falling for you...
