Lyrics
Forget about you right now
Expressing a desire to temporarily forget about someone.
Oh, Lord
An expression of emotion, possibly emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
Maybe I'll just have a few drinks
Contemplating having some drinks to change the emotional state.
To get up out the mood swings
Using drinks to cope with mood swings.
But, baby, I been through a few things in my time
Acknowledging past experiences and hardships.
One more drink and I'll forget about you right now
Intending to forget about someone after having one more drink.
Ooh, with your skin lookin' light brown
Describing the person with light brown skin in a nightgown.
While you're layin' in your night gown by my side
Imagining the person next to the speaker.
And I'll just try to keep myself busy
Keeping busy to avoid thinking about the person.
So busy, with all I do
Emphasizing the speaker's busyness with daily activities.
But as soon as I stop, as soon as I stop
Anticipating that thoughts of the person will return when not busy.
I'll think of you
Highlighting the inevitability of thinking about the person.
'Cause I know that you'll always be the one
Acknowledging the person's special place in the speaker's life.
That could light up my dark days
Describing the person's positive impact on dark days.
And still make my heart race
Emphasizing that the person still makes the speaker's heart race.
Over and over
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person.
Yes, I know that you'll always be the one
Affirming the lasting influence of the person.
That could light up my dark place
Expressing hope that the connection won't end.
I hope we don't part ways
Anticipating the possibility of separation.
And our time is over, you still make my heart race
Despite potential separation, the person still affects the speaker emotionally.
Maybe I could make you all mine
Contemplating making the person a significant part of the speaker's life.
And I just need to unwind
Feeling the need to relax and let go.
I'm just blinded by the sunshine in my eyes
Blinded by positive experiences, possibly with the person.
But do you think that shit just ain't the same now?
Questioning if things have changed between the speaker and the person.
Lord, I may ever break down
Fearing a potential emotional breakdown.
If I see another gray cloud in my sky
Expressing emotional vulnerability to unfavorable circumstances.
I'll just try to stay away from the wrong places
Avoiding places that trigger negative emotions.
I caught cases from how I feel
Referring to legal issues resulting from emotional struggles.
I never learned just how to love
Admitting a lack of understanding about love.
Though, I loved you then and I love you still
Continued love for the person despite difficulties.
'Cause I know that you'll always be the one
Reiterating the person's importance in the speaker's life.
That could light up my dark days
Describing the person's positive influence on dark days.
And still make my heart race
Emphasizing that the person still evokes strong emotions.
Over and over
Repeating the emotional impact of the person.
Yes, I know that you'll always be the one
Affirming the enduring influence of the person.
That could light up my dark place
Expressing a desire to avoid parting ways with the person.
I hope we don't part ways
Anticipating the possibility of separation.
And our time is over, you still make my heart race
Despite potential separation, the person still affects the speaker emotionally.
Ooh, oh
An expression, possibly a vocalization of emotion.
Ooh
Continuation of emotional expression.
