The stars came out of disguise
and the rain was hidden by the tears in your eyes
and falling back is hard to do
when it’s falling back in love with you

you know the lamp post understands
that you cannot look inside a man
but falling back is hard to do
when it’s falling back in love with you

I don’t mind your wishing games
long as I can keep from feeling blue
your mama’s rich, I can tell by the way she walks
and I don’t care about anything but you

so put your coat on, step outside
the car’s gassed up for a midnight ride
and falling back is hard to do
when it’s falling back in love with you

so I’ll light another cigarette
and watch you as you tumble in your sleep
I’ve known you forever, but it feels like we just met
and look here, my heart is yours to keep

the stars came out of disguise
and the rain was hidden by the tears in your eyes
and falling back is hard to do
when it’s falling back in love with you
