You Never Know When You're Gonna Fall In Love

I had it all worked out

I thought I knew just what I want

But, girl, as it turned out

I guess I really didn't know at all



I've been playin' life by the ear

Now the words of love I hear

Is so very clear



Whenever you are near

It's like a spell that's taken over me

What's happenin', my dear?

It wasn't in my plans to fall in love



But, girl, what can I do?

You see, I'm so in love with you

I'm so in love, baby



You never know when

(You're gonna fall in love)

Oh, it just seems to happen



You never know when

(You're gonna fall in love)

You see, love has no sense of time



You never know when

You're gonna fall in love

Love



Since you came around

There's been a certain change in me

And in your love I felt

I slowly found myself turnin' around



How could I let myself go?

I guess you'll never really know

Ah, ah, you never, never, never, ever, ever know



You never know when

(You're gonna fall in love)

Oh, boy, it just seems to happen



You never know when

(You're gonna fall in love)

You see, love has no sense of time



You never know when

You're gonna fall



Love has no sense of time

Love has no sense of time



Ooh, hoo, you never know when

You're gonna fall in love

Ooh, ohh
