Something Is Worrying Me
Love's Unraveling: Otis Redding's Heartfelt Reflections
Lyrics
Something is worrying me, yeah
Expressing concern or anxiety about a particular issue.
And that something is driving me in misery, oh
The mentioned concern is causing intense unhappiness.
I can tell the way things change
Noticing a change in the situation or relationship.
That you've been loving some other man
Perceiving signs that the partner has been involved with someone else romantically.
That's why something keeps on worrying me, yes it is
Reiterating that the observed changes are causing persistent worry.
That's why something is worrying me, oh
Repeating the acknowledgment of ongoing anxiety.
I can tell by the look in your eye
Noting the ability to discern emotional states through facial expressions.
I can tell by the way you smile
Reading emotional cues from the partner's smiling behavior.
I know things haven't been this way
Acknowledging that the relationship has deviated from its usual state.
I stopped to love you each and every day
Reflecting on the commitment to love the partner consistently.
And that something keeps on worrying me, yeah
Repeating the theme of persistent worry in the relationship.
That's why something is driving me in misery, yeah
Affirming that the worry is causing distress and misery.
I can tell by the look in your eye
Reiterating the ability to sense emotional changes through eye expressions.
That you've been loving some other guy
Reinforcing the suspicion of the partner's involvement with someone else.
That's why something keeps on worrying me, oh yes it is
Stating that the persistent worry continues due to the observed behavior.
That's why something keeps on worrying me, darling
Repeating the acknowledgment of ongoing anxiety, using an affectionate term.
That something baby
Emphasizing that the cause of worry is significant and emotional.
Is deep down in my heart
Locating the source of concern deep within the emotional core.
Is worrying me baby
Affirming that the worry is rooted in the emotional connection with the partner.
I know you love somebody
Acknowledging the awareness of the partner's love for someone else.
I know you have somebody else
Acknowledging the presence of another person in the partner's life.
It's worrying me baby
Reiterating the distress caused by the partner's actions or feelings.
I need you right here by my side
Expressing a need for the partner's physical presence and support.
