Something Isn't Right

Oingo Boingo


Once in a lifetime something happens no one understands 
Turns the whole world inside out, turns water into blazing sand 
Who in the world who ever guess that something wasn't right 
Who can explain when the sun comes up in the middle of a winter night 

I'm burnin' up now baby 
I'm burnin' up now baby, baby please 

Who would have guessed that when I first set eyes upon your face 
History would be rearranged and nothing would ever be the same 
Who would believe that in my heart is a piece of burning coal 
Slowly turning from a fire to a raging blaze without control 

I'm burnin' up now baby, I'm burnin' up now baby 
I've seen so much, it scares me 
I can't cool off cause something isn't right 

What do you think would happen if I sat outside your door 
Howled like a dog and played guitar and begged you baby, baby please 
How do you think your folks would feel if I broke into your house 
Snuck in your room while you were asleep 
And prayed to you down on my knees <---? 

I'm burnin' up now baby 
I'm burnin' up now baby 
I've seen so much, it scares me 
I can't cool off cause something isn't right 

Who in the world would ever guess 
That somewhere in the middle of our cozy nest ? 
There were dark things lurking in the back of your mind 
Just open the window and look with your eyes ? 
Where in the good book does it say 
That destiny cannot be changed 
Who in the world would ever know 
If you walked out the door and never came home 
Cause something is not right
