"I Fall in Love Too Easily" is a 1944 song composed by Jule Styne with lyrics by Sammy Cahn. It was introduced by Frank Sinatra in the 1945 film Anchors Aweigh. The film won an Academy Award for its music; "I Fall in Love Too Easily" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song,^[1] which it lost to Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's "It Might As Well Be Spring".

The song has become an often-played jazz standard. It has been recorded by Chet Baker, Johnny Hartman, Miles Davis, Ralph Towner, Anita O'Day, Diane Schuur and Fred Hersch among others.^[1]

Sammy Cahn has said of the conception of the sixteen-bar song: "This song was written one night in Palm Springs. When I sang the last line, Jule Styne looked over at me and said, 'So. That's it.' I knew he felt we could have written on, but I felt I had said all there was to say, and if I had it to do over, I would stop right there again."^[2]

Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker, Jr. (December 23, 1929 – May 13, 1988) was an American jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and singer.

In the 1950s, Baker earned much attention and critical praise, particularly for albums featuring his vocals, such as Chet Baker Sings. Jazz historian David Gelly described the promise of Baker's early career as seemingly representing "James Dean, Sinatra, and Bix, rolled into one."^[3] However, his "well-publicized drug habit"^[4] also drove his notoriety and fame, as Baker was in and out of jail for much of his life, before enjoying a career resurgence in the late 1970s and '80s.

I Fall in Love Too Easily

I fall in love too easily,

I fall in love too fast

I fall in love too terribly hard,

for love to ever last

My heart should be well schooled,

'cause I've been fooled in the past

And still I fall in love too easily,

I fall in love too fast

-- music composed by Jule Styne with lyrics by Sammy Cahn

The Four Letter L-Word

The protagonist can't help falling in love

Although he's been continually hurt & knows

That he'll keep on getting hurt. Because

He loves too much, he keeps setting himself up

For long strings of failed relationships. 

He's a heart. He can't help it.

Sounds like the magic high of Crazy July

Affects a whole slew of boys & girls.

Falling in love, the best & worst feeling in the world.

So, closely guard your fragile heart.

Though it might be a foolish task.

The heart has its own  lingo bittersweet

That truly speaks & never wears a mask.
