Just Ain't Right
Unveiling Forbidden Moments: The Meaning Behind 'Just Ain't Right'
Lyrics
Just Ain’t Right
Expressing a feeling that something is wrong or not appropriate
Someday we might get away
Hoping for a future escape or departure
Meet at the 10th street corner on a lazy Saturday
Planning to rendezvous at a specific street corner
Somewhere we both can’t be found
Seeking a place where they won’t be easily discovered
A place where none of our friends would ever hang around
Desiring a location unfamiliar to their social circle
I wonder how we get along
Questioning the compatibility in their relationship
Meeting in alleyways and hotels we read about in songs
Meeting in secretive or romantic places
I think of this when you spend the night
Reflecting on these thoughts during shared nights together
It’s that something that just ain’t right
Feeling an unsettling sensation about their situation
In my day I often think
Revisiting past moments and thoughts
Of things I did not tell you when I saw you last week
Regretting things left unsaid during recent encounters
Cause I got lost in your eyes instead
Getting captivated by the partner’s gaze instead of conversation
The way you look at me from the corner of my bed
Noticing the partner’s intimate stare in a private setting
With time, I lose this fight
Feeling like losing a battle against something
Only from moonlight to sunlight I’m holding you tight
Only holding tight during specific hours, possibly secretive encounters
Makes me forget when you spend the night
Forgetting troubles during shared nights
There’s that something that just ain’t right
Recognizing an inherent wrongness in the situation
I wish for change, but I don’t mind
Wishing for change but accepting the current circumstances
Trust my fate as I go, leave these worries behind
Leaving worries behind and embracing fate
As for guilt, I just don’t know
Uncertainty or lack of clarity about feeling guilty
So when your friends try to ask I still say “it isn’t so”
Denying the reality of the relationship to friends
Still we both get along
Functioning well together despite the secrecy
From hide to hideaway, nightfall til dawn
Meeting in hidden places from night till morning
Thinking of this when we meet tonight
Contemplating this situation before meeting again
It’s that something that just ain’t right
Feeling the discomfort or wrongness once more
It’s that something that just ain’t right
Reiterating the unsettling feeling
It’s that something
Emphasizing that there's something distinctly wrong
It’s that something
Repeating the sentiment of something being wrong
It’s that something that just ain’t right
Reaffirming the sense of something being amiss or inappropriate
