Carole King (born 9 February 1942) is a jewish-american singer-songwriter. She was most active as a singer during the first half of the 1970s, but she was a successful songwriter for considerably longer both before and after this period. Born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, Carole Klein (as she was then known) started out playing the piano and then moved on to singing, forming a vocal quartet called the Co-Sines in high school. While attending Queens College, King befriended Paul Simon, Neil Sedaka and Gerry Goffin. Goffin and King soon formed a songwriting partnership, eventually marrying, working in the famous Brill Building, where chart-topping hits were churned out during the 1960s.

I Wasen't Gonna Fall in Love Lyrics

Carole King

When I met you, I let you know
I didn't want to go the way I'd gone before
That door was closed - I was just looking for fun
And you were the right one, you got it
So we could just play around
We wouldn't get serious or mysterious
When it's done it would just be done
[Chorus]
I wasn't gonna fall in love, no I wasn't gonna fall
I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you
Well, you got down, saw through me
You read me like a book
You took me over and over again
And you turned my head around
I found I didn't know what I thought I knew
I was caught up in you so fast
Emotional, love potional
I want to make every moment last
[Chorus]
Never know what's gonna, never know
what's gonna come along
To change your mind, change your way
Play the game you said you'd never play
Never thought that we, never thought
you and I would be together
Well I thought I could,
but I guess you can't, you can't
You can't ever, never say never
[Chorus]
