You wouldn't be angry with me, would you?
And if I perhaps misunderstood you,
Why have a fallin' out just when we're fallin' in love?

Tomorrow when skies are gettin' starry,
Wouldn't we get to feelin' sorry?
Why have a fallin' out just when we're fallin' in love?

Some differences may get us
And naturally upset us,
But people who have met us
All say we go hand in glove!

We've gotten along so very nicely,
Baby, and that's my point precisely,
Why have a fallin' out just when we're fallin' in love?

You wouldn't be angry with me, would you?

Why have a fallin' out just when we're fallin' in love?

Wouldn't we get to feelin' sorry?
Why have a fallin' out just when we're fallin' in love?

All say we go hand in glove!

We've gotten along so very nicely,
Baby, and that's my point precisely,
Why have a fallin' out just when we're fallin' in love?
Why have a fallin' out just when we're fallin' in love?
Why have a fallin' out just when we're fallin' in love, in love?
