Lyrics:

“I Slipped And Fell In Love”

A drunk man walking down a rainy street
A wood floor and new socks on your bare feet
You look down and suddenly you’re looking up
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love

A bald tire running on an icy road
A steep hill underneath a foot of snow
A greased pig fallen off a pickup truck
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love

I hope that you’re feeling the way that I feel
It’s just like flying but you’re standing still
The birds and the bees are sure powerful stuff
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love

An ice cube hiding on your kichen floor
A bad step leading up to your back door
How’d I wind up on my butt
Whoops, I slipped and feel in love

I hope that you’re feeling the way that I feel
It’s just like flying but you’re standing still
The birds and the bees are sure powerful stuff
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love

I hope that you’re feeling the way that I feel
It’s just like flying but you’re standing still
The birds and the bees are sure powerful stuff
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love

Help, I’ve fallen I can’t getup
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love
