Just One of Those Things
Embracing fleeting passions: "Just One of Those Things
Lyrics
It was just one of those things
Refers to a random occurrence or event
Just one of those crazy flings
Describes a brief, impulsive romantic relationship
One of those bells
Metaphor for a fleeting romantic moment
That now and then rings
Suggests occasional reminders of past experiences
Just one of those things
Reiterates the notion of an insignificant event
It was just one of those night
Highlights the casual nature of the night
Just one of those fabulous flights
Describes an exceptional and enjoyable experience
A trip to the moon
Symbolizes a delightful journey, possibly in love
On gossamer wings
Emphasizes the light and delicate nature of the experience
Just one of those things
Reiterates the insignificance of the event
If we'd thought a bit of the end of it
If the consequences were considered from the beginning
When we started painting the town
Recalls the joyful start of a night out
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Realization that the passionate love affair was bound to end
Was too hot, not to cool down
Acknowledges the intensity of the relationship
So goodbye, dear, and amen
Bidding farewell and expressing best wishes
Here's hoping we meet now and then
Hoping for occasional future encounters
It was great fun
Reflects on the enjoyment despite the temporary nature
But it was just one of those things
Reiterates that it was just a passing experience
If we'd thought a bit of the end of it
Recalls the initial considerations before the adventure
When we started painting the town
Repeats the realization that the love affair was fleeting
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Reiterates the awareness of the inevitable cooling down
Was too hot, not to cool down
Emphasizes the passionate and temporary nature of love
So goodbye, goodbye, dear, and amen
Reiterates the farewell and best wishes
Here's hoping we meet now and then
Expresses hope for occasional future meetings
It was great fun
Acknowledges the overall enjoyment despite the ending
But it was just one of those things
Emphasizes the transient nature of the experience
It was just one of those things
Concludes that it was just a random, passing event
