Slipped Tripped And Fell In Love

Ann Peebles · Other Songs - Ann Peebles

I knew from the very beginning

What you had in mind

But I said to myself, baby

You're gonna just waste your time



But somehow during the night, baby

Things started to get out of hand

And I found myself (found myself)

Falling in love again (falling in love again)



I slipped (tripped) fell in love

Fell in love with you, baby

Yes, I did, I slipped, tripped

Fell in love, fell in love

With you, baby, oh, yeah



Getting stuck on you, baby

Was the last thing I had in mind

But now you got me wanting you, baby

Want your love all the time



When you touch me, baby

(Oh, baby) I just lose control

And I find myself (find myself)

Wanting more of you down in my soul



I slipped (tripped) fell in love

Fell in love with you, baby



Lord, it's all right, yeah



I slipped (tripped) fell in love

Fell in love with you, baby

And I like it like that

I slipped (tripped) fell in love

Fell in love with you, baby



I slipped (tripped) fell in love

Fell in love with you, baby
