Abra continued to work on her next studio album "No Fear", while contributing songs to several soundtracks. Amidst rumors of creative differences and contractual conflicts, she changed management and recording companies and the album was eventually shelved, although her record label did release promo copies. Most of the songs later appeared in slightly altered versions on her latest album, "Everything Changed" (2004) released on Koch Records.
I Do
Abra Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a little out of tune
Some say I'm paranormal
So I just bend their spoon
Who wants to be ordinary
In a crazy, mixed-up world
I don't care what they're sayin'
As long as I'm your girl
Hey, you are on my side
And they, they just roll their eyes
You get me
When nobody understands
You come and take the chance, baby
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you'll find
And still you want me all the time
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you get me
So what if I see the sunshine
In the pouring rain
Some people think I'm crazy
But you say it's okay
You've seen my secret garden
Where all of my flowers grow
In my imagination
Anything goes
I, I am all you want
They, they just read me wrong
You get me
When nobody understands
You come and hold my hand, baby
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you'll find
Still you want me all the time
Yeah, you do
'Cause you get me
Hey, you are on my side
They, they just roll their eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause you get me
When nobody understands
You come and take the chance, baby
You get me
When none of the pieces fit
You make sense of it
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you'll find
And still I want you all the time
Yeah, I do
'Cause you get me
Yeah, oh, yeah, oh
In "I Do," Abra Moore sings about how she feels like she doesn't fit in with the rest of the world, but that's okay as long as she's with the one she loves. She acknowledges that she's a little left of center and out of tune, and some people consider her paranormal. She doesn't care about being ordinary in a crazy world. Despite the opinions of others, she knows that her partner has her back and understands her. The lyrics express gratitude for the one person who gets her, who knows what's in her wild mind, and who still wants her all the time.
Moore's quirky lyrics in "I Do" were a reflection of her personality, as she had a reputation for being a little odd herself. She burst onto the Austin music scene in the 1980s and gained national attention in the 1990s for her whimsical folk-pop songs. The song's infectious melody and playful lyrics earned it a spot on the soundtrack for the romantic comedy, "The Wedding Planner." Moore intended the song to be a tribute to her husband, who stood by her through thick and thin, including her battle with breast cancer.
