(Melodie: I'll never fall in love again - Burt Bacharach en Hal David)


Melodie en oorspronkelijke tekst ken ik al sinds mijn twaalfde, toen ik in een kerkkoor zong, dat ook wat 'lichte' liedjes op het repertoire had staan. Sinds die tijd komt het regelmatig opborrelen. Geschikt voor op de fiets of bij de afwas... Vandaag ontstond bovenstaande tekst tijdens het poetsen.

Hieronder de oorspronkelijke tekst, waarvan de zin A guy with a pin to burst your bubble mij toen al aan het giechelen bracht. En het rijm 'pneumonia/phone you' vond ik een echte vondst!



I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, he'll never phone you.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

Don't tell me what is all about,
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow.
So, for at least until tomorrow,
I'll never fall in love again!
I'll never fall in love again!

(Part of Bacharach/David Medley)

Don't tell me what it's all about
`Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you. (here to mind you) 3x
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So, for at least, until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
Oh, I'll never fall in love again
