It Never Entered My Mind
Love's Unexpected Turns: Decoding 'It Never Entered My Mind'
Lyrics
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
Initially, I found amusement when you said...
That I'd be playing solitaire
...that I would be playing solitaire, indicating a sense of loneliness or solitude.
Uneasy in my easy chair
I felt uneasy in my comfortable surroundings, possibly reflecting internal discomfort.
It never entered my mind
It never occurred to me, suggesting a lack of realization or understanding.
And once you told me I was mistaken
You corrected me, saying...
That I'd awaken with the sun
...I would wake up early with the sun.
And ordered orange juice for one
You ordered orange juice for one, emphasizing my solitude.
It never entered my mind
Again, I failed to grasp the significance; it never entered my mind.
You had what I lack, myself
You possessed qualities I lacked, and now...
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
...I even have to attend to my own basic needs, like scratching my back.
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
At one point, you warned me that if you rejected me...
I'd say a lonely prayer again
...I would find myself praying alone, wishing for your presence.
And wish that you were there again
I would long for your companionship.
To get into my hair again
To irritate me or disturb my peace would never cross my mind.
It never entered my mind
Reiterating that certain thoughts or scenarios never entered my mind.
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
Once again, you warned me about the consequences of your scorn...
I'd say a lonely prayer again
...loneliness and prayers, wishing for your return.
And wish that you were there again
The desire for your presence and the wish for reconciliation.
To get into my hair again
Reiterating the potential to disturb or annoy me, never crossing my mind.
It never entered my mind
Once again emphasizing that certain thoughts or possibilities never entered my mind.
