It's late and I'm feeling so tired Having trouble sleeping This constant compromise between thinking and breathing Could it be I'm suffering because I'll never give in? Won't say that I'm falling in love (Please, please,) tell me I don't seem myself Couldn't I blame something else? (No, don't say it) Don't say I'm falling in love Some kind of therapy is all I need Please, believe me (Please, believe me) Some instant remedy that can cure me completely Could it be I'm suffering because I'll never give in? Won't say that I'm falling in love (Please, please,) tell me I don't seem myself Couldn't I blame something else? (No, don't say it) Don't say I'm falling in love Ooo 'Cause I've been there before, and it's not enough So nobody say it (so nobody say it) Don't even say it (Don't you even say it) I've got my eyes shut, won't look Oh no, I'm not in love Could it be I'm suffering because I'll never give in? Won't say that I'm falling in love (falling in love) (Please, please,) tell me I don't seem myself Couldn't I blame something else? (No, don't say it) Just don't say I'm falling in love (Don't say that I'm falling in love) Could it be I'm suffering softly (Don't say that I'm falling in love) Caught on all what you've been giving me (Don't say that I'm falling in love) Falling in love (Don't say that I'm falling in love) Couldn't I blame something else? (Don't say, don't say) (Don't say, don't say) (Don't say that I'm falling in love) Don't say (Don't say that I'm falling in love) (Don't say that I'm falling in love) Ooo, oh (Don't say that I'm falling in love) Yeah (Don't say that I'm falling in love) Oh
