I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case, time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Your love is thick
And it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver
Than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service

You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

You are the bearer
Of unconditional things
You held your breath
And the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You're the best listener
That I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long?
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now, oh
I am aware now

You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

    I can't begin to tell what this song means to me. Two years ago, a good friend told me that he was in love with me. He likes this song a lot. Now I have turned the tables. Now I am in love with him. Now he also has a girlfriend. I'm not sure if he is still in love with me now because things have gotten a little shaky in the communication department, but whenever I hear this song, I think of him. That is only a tiny sliver of what this song means to me.

    This song is so great. I love it. To me it means how he got her once, even though she was maybe scared of it, because she's scared of commitment, and then she says "don't be suprised if I fall, head over feet"...meaning she DOES like/love him, she's just unsure/scared. She's saying how that the guy she loves is her best friend and that he's always there for her... Reminds me of my and the guy in my life.. =]

    This is my least favorite of her songs. The "friends with benefits" part sux the worst. Cos I don't know how anyone can do that and have an honst relationship with someone because it is CHEATING.

    this song makes me so HAPPY for her. it paints love in a fantastic light and is one of the few songs where the person receiving the love really deserves it.

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
