It Isn't Fair
Unrequited Melodies: Navigating Love's Unfair Grip
Lyrics
To sing this beautiful song
To express the beauty of this song
Here is Don Cornell
Introduction of the singer, Don Cornell
It isn't fair for you to taunt me
Expressing a sense of injustice or imbalance in the relationship
How can you make me care this way?
Questioning how the person can evoke strong feelings
It isn't fair for you to want me
Highlighting the unfairness of the person wanting a deeper connection
If it's just for a day
Suggesting that the desire might be temporary or fleeting
It isn't fair for you to thrill me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the emotional excitement caused by the person
Why do you do the things you do?
Pondering the motives behind the person's actions
It isn't fair for you to fill me
Stating the unfairness of being filled with unattainable dreams
With those dreams that can't come true, dear
Referring to dreams that cannot be realized
Why is it that you came into my life
Raising a question about the significance of the person entering the singer's life
And made it complete?
Attributing completeness to life after the person's arrival
You gave me just a touch of high life
Describing a fleeting experience of a better life provided by the person
If this is love then I repeat
If this is love, expressing a desire for it to continue
It isn't fair for you to taunt me
Reiterating the sense of injustice or imbalance
How can you make me care this way?
Questioning the impact of the person's actions on the singer's emotions
It isn't fair for you to want me
Reiterating the unfairness of wanting a deeper connection for a short period
If it's just for today
Suggesting that the desire may only be for the present moment
My darling
An address to the person, term of endearment
It is in fact
Asserting a fact, potentially related to the preceding lines
