Love So Right
Bee Gees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She came on like the night and she held on tight
And the world was right when she made love to me
We were free
She moved in like a friend started loving me
And I thought I'd found my heaven in her arms
But the morning when I woke up
I was here and she was gone
Maybe you can tell me how a love so right can turn out to be so wrong
Where did she go when I need her close to me
And the perfect story ended at the start
I thought you came forever and you came to break my heart
Now I'm hanging on, on the chance that you'll come back to me
How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong, oh my darling
How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong, oh my darling
I could take it in my stride
Start living for the moment
Maybe half the things we sought were never there
Simply open up our eyes and break it down to size
It isn't really fair
How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong, oh my darling
How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong, oh my darling
How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong, oh my darling
The lyrics to the Bee Gees' Love So Right depict a failed relationship that started perfectly but ultimately ended in heartbreak. The opening lines "She came on like the night and she held on tight" suggest an intense and passionate start to the relationship. The singer expresses how free they felt when they were together, but things fell apart when the woman left unexpectedly. The chorus questions how something so right could go so wrong, highlighting the confusion and pain the singer is feeling.
The second verse further delves into the aftermath of the relationship. The singer wonders where the woman went when they needed each other and reflects on how what they thought was a perfect story ended before it could truly begin. Despite the heartbreak, the singer still holds on to hope that the woman will return to them. The bridge of the song suggests that sometimes we need to let go of the things we thought we wanted and focus on what we truly need.
Overall, Love So Right is a poignant and relatable depiction of a failed relationship. The lyrics effectively convey the pain of a lost love while also urging listeners to focus on the present and let go of what is no longer serving them.
