Something Isn't Right

[Verse 1]

Once in a lifetime, something happens

No one understands

Turns the whole world inside out

Turns water into grains of sand

Who in the world would ever guess

That something wasn't right?

Who can explain when the sun comes up

In the middle of a winter night?

[Chorus 1]

I'm burnin' up now, baby

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

[Verse 2]

Who would've 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?

[Chorus 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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?

[Chorus 2]

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

[Breakdown / Outro]

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

That something is not right?
