Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someones gotta take the lead tonight
Who's it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here
And tell you all that comes to me
If you have something to say
You should say it right now
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
I know you said to me
"This is exactly how it should feel when its meant to be"
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually
If we gonna do something 'bout it
We should do it right now
(We should do it right now)
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
It is what we make it
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away (fly away)
I can't say I came prepared
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
The lyrics of Alicia Keys (ft. Stephen Colbert)'s song Un-Thinkable speak about a moment of honesty between two people who are contemplating whether or not to take their relationship to the next level. Alicia Keys is hesitant but also realizes that she has a strong connection to the person she is singing to. She questions whether it would be crazy to do something unconventional or if it would be worth it for the sake of their love. Despite the uncertainty, she knows that she is ready to take the risk and make the other person hers.
The song reflects the struggles and doubts that come with the decision to commit to someone. It also highlights the fear of judgment from others and the idea that true love requires taking risks and doing the unconventional. Alicia Keys sings with a raw and emotional tone, conveying the vulnerability and passion in her words.
