I've Got That Tune
Chinese Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got the words
I got the tune
I've been rehearsing under the moon
But I got nobody ah, to hear my song
So I'm hummin', hummin' to myself

I got the words
I got the tune
I've been rehearsing under the moon
But I got nobody ah, to hear my song
So I'm hummin', hummin' to myself

I've got, got the place
I've got the time
I've got a lot of love words that rhyme
I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself

I've got, got the place
I've got the time
I've got a lot of love words that rhyme
I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself

I've got, got the place
I've got the time
I've got a lot of love words that rhyme
I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself

I guess it just had to be
Won't someone come and listen to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I've Got That Tune" by Chinese Man ft. Tumi / Taiwan MC / Youthstar / Mr Raf are about a musician who has written a song, rehearsed it in the moonlight, and is excited to share it with others. However, when he is ready to perform, there is nobody there to listen to his music. The musician is left alone with his tune and his words, forced to hum the song to himself. The lyrics convey a sense of loneliness and isolation, as the musician is unable to connect with others through his music.


The repeated line "I'm hummin', hummin' to myself" reinforces the theme of loneliness and self-expression, suggesting that the musician is creating his own happiness despite being alone. The plea "Won't someone come and listen to me" at the end of the song expresses the musician's desire to share his art with others and connect with them through music.


Overall, the lyrics of "I've Got That Tune" are a powerful reminder of the importance of community and connection in the creative process. While it can be rewarding to create art for oneself, sharing it with others is what gives it meaning and purpose.

@SofaKingShit

I have shared this with my friend who is a country musician and he usually hates modern music but after hearing this he likes CM. He just needed to hear it while beer was in his hillbilly hand and hey presto, instant fan.

I discovered this song in 2013 and I was listening to it non-stop, then forgot about it for about 10 years. Today I spent near an hour trying to remember what it was called and then looking into my long history in youtube... and I am so happy I found it!!

I've got the words,
I've got the tune
I've even been rehearsin' under the moon
But I got nobody to hear my song
I'm hummin' to myself

I've got the place
I've got the time
I've got a lot of love words that rhyme
I've got nobody to hear my song
So I am hummin to myself
