I'll Never Fall In Love Again

Elvis Costello

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you give your heart
You get it all broken up and battered
That's what you get, a heart that's shattered
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

    General Commentthis isn't an elvis song - it's one of his bacharach covers, the fun of this song is that no matter how horrible love makes you feel sometimes, you always want to go back as quickly as possible. it's the best kind of feeling awful.

    General Commenti agree with you lolly99- "no matter how horrible love makes us feel, we always want to go back as quickly as possible" Everyone wants to be in love and have somebody by their side, but some of us are afraid coz we dont wanna get hurt again. The lies, pain and sorrow are not worth. It better not being in love without those worries in a way.
