(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
