I Didn't Slip, I Wasn't Pushed, I Fell
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
(She didn't slip, she wasn't pushed
She only fell, in love with you)
I didn't slip, I wasn't pushed, I fell, oh yes
Right into the middle of a warm caress
(She didn't slip, she wasn't pushed
She only fell, in love with you)
I didn't slip, I wasn't tripped, I fell, and how
I'll be glad to speak of that adventure now
(We'd like to speak of that adventure now)
There I was, mindin' my business and thinkin' that love
Was only a juvenile pastime
Then I fell, head over heels into love
And I know that I'm goin' down for the last time
I didn't slip, I wasn't pushed, I fell, you bet
And if you hadn't caught me in your arms
Why, I'd be fallin' yet
There I was, mindin' my business and thinkin' that love
Was only a juvenile pastime
Then I fell, head over heels into love
And I know that I'm goin' down for the last time
I didn't slip, I wasn't pushed, I fell, you bet
And if you hadn't caught me in your arms
Why, I'd be fallin' yet
(She didn't slip, she wasn't pushed, she only fell)
I only fell in love with you
She only fell, in love with you)
I didn't slip, I wasn't pushed, I fell, oh yes
Right into the middle of a warm caress
(She didn't slip, she wasn't pushed
She only fell, in love with you)
I didn't slip, I wasn't tripped, I fell, and how
I'll be glad to speak of that adventure now
(We'd like to speak of that adventure now)
There I was, mindin' my business and thinkin' that love
Was only a juvenile pastime
Then I fell, head over heels into love
And I know that I'm goin' down for the last time
I didn't slip, I wasn't pushed, I fell, you bet
And if you hadn't caught me in your arms
Why, I'd be fallin' yet
There I was, mindin' my business and thinkin' that love
Was only a juvenile pastime
Then I fell, head over heels into love
And I know that I'm goin' down for the last time
I didn't slip, I wasn't pushed, I fell, you bet
And if you hadn't caught me in your arms
Why, I'd be fallin' yet
(She didn't slip, she wasn't pushed, she only fell)
I only fell in love with you
I Didn't Slip, I Wasn't Pushed, I Fell
