"Falling for You" is the ninth song on Pinkerton.
Appearances
- Pinkerton
- The Lion and the Witch (Live)
Overview
The numerous chord progressions and key changes in the song make it one of the most difficult to recreate live, evidenced by Cuomo's comments before and after performing the song live from "The Lion and the Witch" EP. Before starting the song, Cuomo facetiously says, "I'd like to ask for the Lord's help in guiding us through the performance of this next song. Please God!" He then rejoices at the completion of the song, exclaiming, "Yeah! We didn't fuck it up! We kicked ass! We redeemed ourselves. We displayed our superiority to the multitudes."
The song is connected to it's previous track, Pink Triangle musically.
Personnel
- Rivers Cuomo – lead guitar, lead vocals
- Patrick Wilson – percussion
- Brian Bell – rhythm guitar
- Matt Sharp – bass guitar
Lyrics
<lyrics>Holy cow! I think I've got one here Now just what am I s'posed to do? I've got a number of irrational fears That I'd like to share with you First, there's rules about old goats like me Hangin' 'round with chicks like you -but I do like you- And another one: you say "like" too much
But I'm shakin' at your touch I like you way too much My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you 'n' I'd do 'bout anything to get the hell out alive Or maybe I would rather settle down with you
Holy moly, baby, wouldn't you know it? Just as I was bustin' loose I gotta go turn in my rock star card and get fat and old with you 'cuz I'm a burning a candle you're a gentle moth Teaching me to lick a little bit kinder And I do like you - you're the lucky one No! I'm the lucky one Holy Sweet goddamn! You left your cello in the basement I admired the glowing stars and tried to play a tune' I can't believe how bad I suck, it's true What could you possibly see in little ol' 3-chord me? But it's true - you like me, I like you too I'm ready, let's do it baby </lyrics>
