"Don't Wanna Fall In Love" - Jane Child

[itsbeenaweek]

This was a #1 hit on the CHR/Pop charts for two weeks and #6 on the R&B charts in April of 1990

When I first heard this I thought she was black. I was shocked when I saw the video, and found out she was white and looked like she should be singing rock music.

Here are the lyrics and the song from her official site:

Ain’t no personal thing boy, but you have got to stay away
Far, far away from my heart, my heart
Don’t you know what you’re kiss is doing
Let me tell it to you from the start

I don’t wanna fall in love
Love cuts just like a knife
You make the knife feel good
I’ll fight you to the end

You’ve been hanging around boy, and you have started sinking in
Whoa baby, You’re way out of line now
Unaware how this all got started
Let me tell it to you one more time

I don’t wanna fall in love
Love cuts just like a knife
You make the knife feel good
I’ll fight you to the end

I learned something about myself
Last night with you I knew
I don’t want nobody else
And you’re scaring me to death now Baby

I don’t wanna fall in love
Love cuts just like a knife
You make the knife feel good
I’ll fight you to the end

I absolutely love this song!

(Since the mp3 link is a free clip on what appears to be Jane's official site, I'll leave it up.)
