You've Got It Bad
Contemplating Life's Trials in "You've Got It Bad
Lyrics
And if I could hold you where would you belong
If I could hold you, where would you belong
Sitting here to reason how the world's gone wrong
Sitting here, contemplating how the world has gone wrong
And if I could listen to half the words you say
If I could listen to half the words you say
Would your pathway glisten and help you on your way
Would your path shine and guide you on your way
Oh you've got it bad
Expressing empathy, acknowledging someone is going through a tough time
But you never should expect cover
Cautioning against expecting protection or refuge
Oh you've got it so bad
Highlighting the severity of the difficult situation
Worse than any other
Emphasizing that the situation is worse than others
If I was in your shoes would it be the same
Contemplating whether the roles reversed would yield the same outcome
Would you sit in silence while I dish out the blame
Wondering if the person would remain silent when blamed
And if the world was laughing would you close your ears
Considering if the person would ignore criticism amid laughter
There is no creed of chanting to make the world more clear
Rejecting the idea that chanting or beliefs can clarify the world
Oh you've got it bad
Reiterating the empathetic acknowledgment of a challenging situation
But you never should expect cover
Reiterating the lack of expected protection or cover
Oh you've got it so so bad
Emphasizing the severity, stating it's exceptionally bad
Worse than any other
Highlighting the intensity, worse than the difficulties others face
If I bought you flowers would you watch them grow
Posing a hypothetical question about the impact of a gesture like buying flowers
Spring time is for certain to follow on the snow
Expressing optimism about positive outcomes following tough times
And if I could hold you where would you belong
Repetition of the desire to hold the person and questioning their belonging
Sitting here to reason how the world's gone wrong
Reiterating contemplation on the world's wrong turns
Oh you've got it bad
Reiterating empathy for the challenging situation
But you never should expect cover
Reiterating the absence of expected protection or cover
Oh you've got it so so bad
Reiterating the severity, stating it's exceptionally bad
Worse than any other
Reiterating the intensity, worse than the difficulties others face
