I need to fall in love again

Dr. Hook · Other Songs - Dr. Hook

You took my heart in your hand and you just walked away

Didn't even say goodbye

Now I'm standing alone let the truth be known I'm not ready to be free

It's not easy for me, getting by



I need to fall in love again

Fill up this emptiness within

But every time I try to begin

I can't find the place to start

You still hold my heart



I hurt inside nowhere to hide, I'm just hanging around

I swear the clock slows down at night

Next time I hope when I'm wanting to love she won't walk away

I'll know what to say



I need to fall in love again

Fill up this emptiness within

But every time I try to begin

I can't find the place to start

You still hold my heart



I need to fall in love again

Fill up this emptiness within

But every time I try to begin

I can't find the place to start



I need to fall in love again

Fill up this emptiness within

But every time I try to begin...

I need to fall in love again

Dr. Hook's 1976 single "I need to fall in love again" stands as a quintessential example of the band's signature blend of soulful R&B and polished rock. Released during the height of their career, the track exemplifies the smooth vocal delivery and lush instrumentation that defined their work on albums like Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show Revisited. The song captures the universal longing for romantic connection with a melodic structure that became a staple of late 1970s pop-rock. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to balance catchy hooks with genuine emotional resonance, cementing Dr. Hook's legacy as a premier act of the era.
