This was written by the songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland. They decided to record the track for this song in Los Angeles rather than at the main studio in Detroit. This song was the last to feature Florence Ballard; like The Supremes previous hit "Reflections," it was released after she was fired from the group for her unprofessional behavior and excessive drinking. One week after Ballard was replaced by Cindy Birdsong, the backup vocals (provided by Ballard and Mary Wilson) for this song were overdubbed by a group of session vocalists called the Andantes. The working title for this song was "Summer Good, Summer Bad." >>
Keep falling in and out of love In search for what I'm dreaming of I long to find a love I'm sure about That certain kind of love that moves all doubts Keep falling in and out of love Still searching for that special one To whom I can give my love completely And feel a lasting love so sweetly Just when I feel sure love's here to stay It seems to suddenly just fade away Can't seem to find that everlasting love That this heart of mine needs so much of Keep falling in and out of love Can't seem to find the lasting kind It seems I can't find the joy I need Love always somehow all goes wrong for me Keep falling in and out of love Keep falling in and out of love I keep reaching out for tenderness Touching a hand that holds emptiness Well I'm looking for a love that lingers on Long after that first kiss is gone That kind of love that keeps burning bright Long after we've said goodnight Keep falling in and out of love In search for what I'm dreaming of Keep falling in and out of love
