I Was Doing All Right
Love's Transformative Journey: Carmen McRae's 'I Was Doing All Right'
Lyrics
I was doing all right
I was in a good state or condition
Nothing but rainbows in my sky
Everything seemed positive and optimistic in my life
I was doing all right
I continued to be in a good state
'Til you came by
Until you appeared or entered my life
Had no cause to complain
I had no reasons to be dissatisfied or unhappy
Life was as sweet as apple pie
Life was enjoyable and trouble-free
Never noticed the rain
I didn't pay attention to difficulties or challenges
'Til you came by
Until you entered my life
But now whenever you're away
Now, when you're not around
I can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I experience insomnia and suffer throughout the day
I just sit and wonder
I ponder and question
If love isn't one big blunder
Whether love is a significant mistake
But when you hold me tight
But when you embrace me closely
Tingling all through, I feel somehow
I feel a tingling sensation, and things seem better
I was doing all right
Initially, I was in a good state
But I'm doing better than ever now
But now, I'm in an even better state than before
But now whenever you're away
Now, in your absence
I can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I struggle to sleep at night and suffer during the day
I just sit and wonder
I contemplate and reflect
If love isn't one big blunder
On whether love is a significant mistake
But when you hold me tight
But when you embrace me closely
Tingling all through, I feel somehow
I feel a tingling sensation, and things seem better
I was doing all right
Initially, I was in a good state
But I'm doing, yes, I'm doing
But now, I'm doing much better than ever
I'm doing much better than ever now
Currently, my overall condition is greatly improved
