Lyrics

Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper

Sweeter and sweeter and sweeter and sweeter

I can't help falling in love

I fall deeper and deeper the further I go

Kisses sent from heaven above

They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know

When you know the notes to sing

You can sing most anything

That's what my mama told me

Round and round and round you go

When you find love you'll always know

I let my father mold me

Daddy couldn't be all wrong

(Not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there)

And my mama made me learn this song

(You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you)

That's why

I can't help falling in love

I fall deeper and deeper the further I go

Kisses sent from heaven above

They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know

The deeper I go

All is fair in love she said

Think with your heart, not with your head

That's what my mama told me

All the little things you do

Will end up coming back to you

I let my father mold me

Daddy couldn't be all wrong

(Not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there)

And my mama made me learn this song

(You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you)

That's why

I can't help falling in love

I fall deeper and deeper the further I go

Kisses sent from heaven above

They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know

I can't help falling in love

I fall deeper and deeper the further I go

Kisses sent from heaven above

They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know

Someone said that romance was dead

And I believed it instead of remembering

What my mama told me

Let my father mold me

Then you tried to hold me

You remind me what they said

This feeling inside

I can't explain

But my love is alive

And I'm never gonna hide it again

Daddy couldn't be all wrong

(Not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there)

And my mama made me learn this song

(You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you)

That's why

I can't help falling in love

I fall deeper and deeper the further I go

Kisses sent from heaven above

They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know

Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper

Never gonna hide it again

Sweeter and sweeter and sweeter and sweeter

Never gonna have to pretend

Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper

Never gonna hide it again

Sweeter and sweeter and sweeter and sweeter

Never gonna have to pretend

You got to just let your body move to the music

You got to just let your body go with the flow

Falling in love, falling in love, falling in love

I can't keep from falling in love with you

You know there's nothing better that I'd like to do

Single

Late 1992, the best dance track on the album was released worldwide as second single. In the US charts it reached #7, in the UK #6. In Canada it dominated the charts for three weeks. It's no surprise that it got heavy airplay in clubs and became #1 on the Hot Dance / Club Play chart.

Video

Bobby Woods directed the video which shows an extravagant Madonna (without eyebrows) having a great time partying with friends (Debi Mazar, among others). It also shows some scenes from what seems to be an underground cult of some kind, which makes the video dark and trancy. It's also notable that Madonna is not lipsynching to the words of the song.

Tour

On the Girlie Show, Madonna, Niki and Donna dressed in 70s disco outfits with afro wigs and hotpants for Express Yourself, which flows into Deeper And Deeper. The dance song it is, the girls get groovy on David's Klub Mix. Then a guy who appears to be a stalker fan jumps on stage, trying to steal the show. When he rips off his shirt and then his jeans to reveal a flashy hotpants, it's clear it's one of the dancers. The others join them on stage, all in flashy hippie clothes, dito sunglasses and colourful boa's, recreating the feel of legendary club Studio 54. Then at the end of the song, it all gets out of hand... ;-)

Deeper And Deeper was certainly one of the most "re-invented" songs on the Re-Invention Tour. The dance track was successfully transformed into a jazz song, which Madonna sang first seated, while dressed in her red-and-white striped cabaret outfit. Then she jazzed around stage with Siedah and Donna. Fans had to get used to the new style of singing the lyrics (like the "mama... she made me learn this song") but it worked wonderfully well.
