美國鄉村歌手Carlene Carter出生於歌唱世家，從外婆外公到母親、阿姨，都是歌唱藝人，就連生父Carl Smith也是鄉村歌手，更別說繼父是鼎鼎大名的Johnny Cash了。

照說有如此家世背景的星二代，要在歌唱界闖出一些名號成績，應非難事。可惜Carlene於1979在紐約的一場演唱會上，唱了一首關於交換伴侶 ( Mate-Swapping ) 的歌曲《Swap-Meat Rag》，結果被以不堪入耳的言語給予批評 --- 「 If this song don't put the cunt back in country, I don't know what will.」。之後此評語被廣為引用，Carlene於此壓力之下，在接下來的十年，儘量設法在扭轉此不良形象。

戀愛中的女人最美麗。看Carlene演唱此曲的表情，可以感受得到她愉悅的心情，或許她當時已墜入了Epstein的情網。與Epstein在一起之前，Carlene曾梅開三度，失去了Epstein之後，Carlene於2006再婚。看起來，她真的是常常Fell In Love。^^

You got the kind of charm that I can't resist
I figure what's the harm in a little bitty kiss or two
But I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
Oh I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
I fell in love
Took me by surprise, put me on the floor
Right between the eyes with a two by four
Just a little taste and
I fell in love
I was doing fine out on my own
Never sitting home by the telephone
I couldn't complain that I didn't have much to do
I was a two fisted woman looking for a fight
Had a boy on my left, a boy on the right
But you burned me up like a chicken at a barbeque
But I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna…
