Since I met you I've begun to feel so strange
Every time I speak your name (that's funny)
You say that you are so helpless too
That you don't know what to do

Each night I pray there will never come a day
When you up and take your love away
Say you feel the same way too and I wonder what
It is I feel for you

Could it be I'm falling in love (with you baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love (ooh)
Could it be I'm falling in love
With you, with you  with you, with you

I don't need all those things that used to bring me joy
You made me such a happy boy
And honey you'll always be the only one for me
Meeting you was my destiny
You can be sure I will never let you down
When you need me I will be around
And darling you'll always be the only one for me
Heaven made you specially

(Could it be I'm falling in love)
Could you babe?
(Could it be I'm falling in love)
(Could it be I'm falling in love)
With you, with you, with you, with you

And darling you'll always be the only one for me
Heaven made you specially

(Could it be I'm falling in love)
Would you babe?
(Could it be I'm falling in love)
I wanna now now babe
(Could it be I'm falling in love)
With you, with you, with you, with you
(Could it be I'm falling in love)
(Could it be I'm falling in love)
(Could it be I'm falling in love)
(Could it be I'm falling in love)
(Could it be I'm falling in love)
(Could it be I'm falling in love)
