When I Get It Right
Unveiling the Dance of Mistakes: When I Get It Right by Joan Armatrading
Lyrics
You always say
You consistently mention
When I just messed up
When I have just made a mistake
Did bad
Behaved poorly
Done wrong
Committed a wrongdoing
Gone too far
Exceeded acceptable limits
Caused such pain
Caused significant pain
Such shame
Resulted in shame
I'm illegal
I am considered unlawful
See one sided
Perceived as one-sided
No fair
Unjust treatment
A sin there
Regarded as a sin
Act queer
Behaving strangely
Odd ball
Seen as an oddball
I mishandle
I mishandle situations
You trample
You trample over me
So strong
You exert strong influence
Wear crown
Wear a metaphorical crown of authority
Under foot
Treat me as beneath you
Put upon
Place burdens on me
Hold down
Keep me down
Hey when I get it right
Hey, when I finally do things correctly
Will you tell me please
Will you inform me, please?
I wanna know
I want to understand
You always say no
You consistently deny
You don't mean yes
You say no but don't mean yes
No way
Absolutely not
Hold out
Hold back or resist
Turn around
Turn away
Two refusals
Two rejections
Deaf ear turned here
Ignoring pleas or requests
Not want
Do not want
Leave room
Creating distance
All fault here
Accepting all blame
Shake head
Expressing disapproval or disagreement
Drop dead
An emphatic dismissal or rejection
