Mama always said not to fall in love
She said, "Boy, you better take your time..."
Don't show 'em your hand, don't move too fast
You'll save yourself some trouble down the line
Well, I guess that's a lesson that I never learned
Cause I gotta heart full of battle scars
I'm no good at games, ain't got no poker face
When I fall in love, I fall real hard
I'll notice that I miss her smile, when she's gone
I'll find myself wishing on every single star
And I could have the whole wide world
But she'd control my heart
That's how I fall in love
That's how I fall in love
My friends will say she's no good for me
They'll say, "Man, she's gonna leave you blue..."
Don't let her close, but they already know
That there ain't nothing I can do
I noticed that I missed her smile, when she's gone
I found myself wishing on every single star
And I could have the whole wide world
But she'd control my heart
That's how I fall in love
That's how I fall in love
And I'll get shaky hands
When I see her again
And I won't find the words to say
I'll jump the gun again
End up alone and then
I'll have no one else to blame
Cause I noticed that I missed her smile, when she's gone
I found myself wishing on every single star
And I could have the whole wide world
But she'd control my heart
That's how I fall in love
That's how I fall in love
