Mr. Success
Embrace Success with Love: Decoding Frank Sinatra's Mr. Success
Lyrics
When I walk through a jam, no one knows who I am
When I'm in a crowded place, people are unaware of my identity.
Put your head on my chest and I am Mr. Success
When you lean your head on my chest, I feel like I'm successful.
Never closed me a deal, all at once I'm a wheel
Even without finalizing any deals, suddenly I feel important or influential.
Just your head on my chest and I'm Mr. Success
Similar to line 2, the reassurance of your head on my chest makes me feel successful.
Why I once knew a worrying man, he was a hurrying man
I knew someone who was always anxious and in a rush.
With never a second to play
He never had spare time.
He had appointments to keep, people to meet
He had many commitments and people to meet.
And it took her the hour to make him a day
His whole day revolved around being busy and achieving.
Not for me, not what I want to be
I don't aspire to be like that worrying, hurried individual.
Just your head on my chest, and I'm Mr. Success
Again, the emphasis on finding success through the comfort of your head on my chest.
Why, I once knew a worrying man, he was a hurrying man
Reiteration of knowing someone similar to the person described in lines 6-9.
With never a second to play
Continuation of the description of the always-busy person.
He had appointments to keep, lots of people to meet
Similar to line 8, emphasizing the busy schedule and social commitments.
And it took her the hour to make him a day
Reiteration of how this person's whole day was consumed by obligations.
Not for me, not what I want to be
Emphasizing again that this lifestyle is not desirable.
Put my love to the test, that's when I'm at my best
My true strength is tested when I put my love (relationship) to the test.
'Cause with you, pretty baby, standing by my side
With you beside me, I feel confident and successful.
I couldn't be a failure even if I tried
Having you with me makes failure seem impossible.
Cause you make me Mr. Success
Because of you, I feel like I've achieved success.
