Steve Earle — If You Fall

[Verse 1] I saw you looking at that girl like that Yeah, I saw her too, boy, I know right where you're at But you better be careful 'cause she ain't the kind you're gonna forget How much you want to bet? [Chorus] If you fall in love Then nothing's going to be the same You walk around calling out her name You throw your heart down like a glove Push comes to shove You only end up lonely and blue Whenever she's away from you If you fall in love [Verse 2] You gotta hear me talking to you 'cause I'm your best friend And I'd hate to see you going where I've already been Because I've been in love before and I won't ever be the same again You better listen to me, Jim [Chorus] If you fall in love Then nothing's going to be the same You walk around calling out her name You throw your heart down like a glove Push comes to shove You only end up lonely and blue Whenever she's away from you If you fall in love [Verse 3] There she is again, she sure looks fine And boy, I know you're walking on a very thin line So I guess it's up to me 'cause your heart's just not as strong as mine Well, just this one time [Chorus] If you fall in love Then nothing's going to be the same You walk around calling out her name You throw your heart down like a glove Push comes to shove You only end up lonely and blue Whenever she's away from you If you fall in love [Outro] If you fall in love, if you fall in love
