Lyrics
Wise men say
Acknowledgment of conventional wisdom or advice
Only fools rush in
Suggests that only those lacking prudence or caution rush into love
But I can't help falling in love with you
Expresses inability to prevent falling in love despite wisdom
Shall I stay?
Contemplating whether to remain
Would it be a sin?
Questioning if loving would be considered morally wrong or frowned upon
If I can't help falling in love with you
Reiterates the inability to control feelings of love
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Metaphorically comparing the inevitability of love to a river naturally flowing towards the sea
Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be
Implies a belief in fate or destiny regarding love
Take my hand
Invitation to share a life together
Take my whole life too
Offering complete commitment and devotion
For I can't help falling in love with you
Reiterates the inability to control feelings of love
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Reiteration of the comparison between love and the inevitability of a river's path to the sea
Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be
Reaffirms the belief in fate or destiny in love
Take my hand
Repeated invitation for mutual commitment and lifelong partnership
Take my whole life too
Offering complete dedication and devotion in sharing a life
For I can't help falling in love with you
Final expression of the inability to control feelings of love
For I can't help falling in love with you
Reiterates the persistent inability to resist falling in love
