Not Gonna Fall This Time Lyrics - Now - Linda Eder

Once I was young and naive 

A little foolish, easy to deceive 

But I've grown wiser with age 

And I have learned 

Not all that glitters is gold 

So at the risk of sounding somewhat bold 

Those red hot objects of love 

Can get you burned 

So banish guitars playing sweet melodies 

And then please murder the birds and the bees 

Unring the bells and then drain all the wishing wells 

Cancel my trip to the stars and the moon 

Sync up my timing a moment too soon 

Call off romance 'cause although it may be sublime 

I'm just so sick of it all, I'm not gonna fall this time 

Love's spontaneity feels so rehearsed 

When love at first sight isn't really your first 

I'd rather wait 'til he gets more than one thing straight 

Can't someone make Hallmark leave all the cards blank? 

Tell Paris, "S'il vous plait, lose the Left Bank" 

I'm all through with the, "I love you" paradigm 

The only safe protocol is simply don't fall this time 

Then you come along, handsome and clever 

Promising you will be true 

I know it's wrong but what is a girl to do? 

So what the hell? How bad could it be? 

I might as well if it feels good to me 

When boy meets girl, rule number one is give it a whirl 

Have some fun and who's to say I'm not gonna fall this time? 

Just one more time could be sublime 

Partners in crime 

Just one more 

Hey, that guitar player is kind of cute
