Done Me Wrong
Adam West Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

all i know
is i'm left with nothing
and why do i look
like i stepped in something?
i feel like a victim of conscription
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition

right from the start
you done me wrong
i should have seen
you comin' on
right from the start
you done me wrong
and i never should have stayed
i should have split

i should have gone
yeah i never should have stayed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Adam West's song "Done Me Wrong" portray a troubled relationship filled with betrayal and regret. The singer expresses feeling like a victim of conscription, forced into something without their consent, and left with nothing but the remnants of the relationship. Their appearance suffers parallel to their emotions, as they feel like they "stepped in something." The countdown to ignition amplifies the sense of explosive energy surrounding the situation, with the singer feeling as though they're about to launch out of this toxic relationship toward something better.

The chorus repeats, reinforcing the betrayal felt by the singer. They claim they should have seen the signs of their partner's betrayal and left them earlier. Hindsight is always 20/20, and they acknowledge the mistake of staying too long in a harmful relationship. The repetition of "I never should have stayed" emphasizes that the singer recognizes the earlier opportunities to leave and feels foolish for not taking them.

Overall, the lyrics portray the raw emotions of someone who has been hurt and betrayed by a partner. The explosive energy evoked in the countdown and blast-off imagery creates a sense of catharsis as the singer seeks to launch themselves away from their troubles and towards a brighter future.
