Falling in Luv
Cliff Richard · Other Songs - Cliff Richard
Not getting on of luv, not putting it down
We had the kind of sweet affair
We both felt we needed
No psychic fusion, just a steady date
No grand illusions of the romantic fates
She looked for her, I looked for me
Don't know why we conceded
'Cos we were high, now we're low
Tell me why did we go
Falling in luv
Falling in luv
Under pressure from family and friends
They seem to treasure a storybook end
One look at them I realise luv is real overrated
'Cos we were high, now we're low
Tell me why did we go
Falling in luv
Falling in luv
Falling in Luv
