[Chorus]
Falling in love
It grabs me, it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that I'm feeling
Falling in love
It's draining, it's wearing
I surrender completely

[Verse 1]
Ooh, I wasn't ready for this
It's good, it's bad
I'm happy and i'm sad
A mystery to behold
It speaks only to heart and soul
Like a melody deep inside of me
I saw that love keeps playing on and on
A symphony so glad i hear
Angels whispering

[Chorus]
Falling in love
It grabs me, it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that I'm feeling
Falling in love
It's draining, it's wearing
I surrender completely

[Verse 2]
I never knew life could be
So heavenly, I'm feeling free
Oh, how could something be so satisfying?
And yet a feeling of fearfulness
Is lurking in the mist of the bliss
Inside my heart, but I know that's all a part

[Chorus]
Falling in love
It grabs me, it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that I'm feeling
Falling in love
It's draining, it's wearing
I surrender completely

[Bridge]
I'm a business queen
In a corporate kingdom
But when it comes to love
There's no software made for that
Love, oh, love you came
You turned my perfect world upside down
Like a work of art
Love has shaped my heart

[Chorus]
Falling in love
It grabs me (It grabs me), it scares me (It scares me)
It knows how (It knows how) to inform me (To inform me)
Falling in love
It takes me (It takes me) on a journey (On this journey)
Of emotions (Emotions) deep inside me (Inside me)
Falling in love
Nothing (Nothing) prepared me (Prepared me)
For this feeling (For this feeling) that I'm feeling (I'm feeling)
Falling in love
It's draining (It's draining), it's wearing (It's wearing)
I surrender (I surrender) completely (Completely)
Falling in love
It grabs me, it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that I'm feeling
Falling in love
It's draining, it's wearing
I surrender completely
Falling in love
It grabs me, it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that I'm feeling
Falling in love
It's draining, it's wearing
I surrender completely

En Vogue

Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson are the original members of the R&B girl group En Vogue. The group was put together by producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster after a talent search in Oakland, California in 1989. Their debut album Born to Sing was released in 1990 and featured the #1 R&B hits “You Don’t Have To Worry,” “Lies,” and their platinum debut single “Hold On,” which also peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won a Billboard and Soul Train Music Award. Their 1992 follow-up album Funky Divas hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 on its way to triple platinum status. The lead single, “My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” helped propel that success as it hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured the #1 R&B hit cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” as well as the Top 10 pop single “Free Your Mind.”

In 1993, they released the EP Runaway Love and made appearances on the TV shows In Living Color, Roc and A Different World. In 1994, they collaborated with Salt-N-Pepa on their Top 3 platinum single “Whatta Man” and in 1996 they contributed to the Set It Off soundtrack with their hit single “Don’t Let Go (Love)” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 on the R&B Singles chart.

While working on their third album, Dawn Robinson decided to leave the group due to issues with management. The group decided to go on as a trio and released their third platinum album EV3 in 1997 featuring the Top 10 R&B/Top 20 pop hit “Whatever,” which was produced and co-written by Babyface. They went on to release three more albums—Masterpiece Theatre in 2000, The Gift of Christmas in 2002, and Soul Flower in 2004. During that time, Maxine Jones left the group in 2001 and was replaced by Amanda Cole, and Cole was later replaced in 2003 by Rhona Bennett. While the original four members have reunited for performances throughout the years, the current lineup consists of Herron, Ellis, and Bennett, and they released the single “Déjà Vu” in 2016 and released their album Electric Café in 2018.
