It Never Entered My Mind
Unveiling Love's Surprising Absence: It Never Entered My Mind
Lyrics
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
Expressing amusement or joy at something said by the person being addressed.
That I'd be playing solitaire
Anticipating a future where the speaker is playing a solo card game.
Uneasy in my easy chair
Feeling uneasy in a comfortable or relaxed position.
It never entered my mind
Realizing or understanding something that was not previously considered or expected.
Once you told me I was mistaken
Being informed of a mistake and advised about a different outcome.
That I'd awaken with the sun
Being told that the speaker will wake up early with the sun.
And ordered orange juice for one
Receiving an order for a single serving of orange juice, emphasizing solitude.
It never entered my mind
Reiterating the unexpected nature of the realization mentioned in line 4.
You had what I lack, myself
Acknowledging that the addressed person possessed something the speaker lacked.
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
Highlighting the speaker's newfound independence, having to attend to personal needs.
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
Recalling a warning about the consequences of being scorned by the addressed person.
I'd say the maiden's prayer again
Referring to a prayer made when feeling scorned or rejected.
And wish that you were there again
Expressing a desire for the presence of the addressed person again.
To get into my hair again
Referring to the addressed person causing irritation or frustration.
It never entered my mind
Reiterating the unexpected nature of the realization mentioned in line 4.
You had what I lack, myself
Repeating the acknowledgment of lacking something possessed by the addressed person.
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
Reemphasizing the speaker's newfound independence and self-reliance.
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
Repeating the warning about the consequences of being scorned by the addressed person.
I'd say the maiden's prayer again
Reiterating the reference to a prayer made when feeling scorned or rejected.
And wish that you were there again
Expressing a desire for the presence of the addressed person again.
To get into my hair again
Referring to the addressed person causing irritation or frustration.
It never entered my mind
Reiterating the unexpected nature of the realization mentioned in line 4.
