You Ain't Right
Carl Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
50 hours a week paying for the car
And the house we had built on the boulevard
And as soon as you get home you want to start
With something negative
Besides physical harm, what do you give
And you make lots of noise for someone who sits
At home all day watching One Life To Live
You ain't right, no, no
I thought you loved me
You ain't right, no, no
We're suppose to be a team
At least you could do things like cook and clean
But I ask you what's up, you start looking mean
Smackin' your lips like you're still a teenager
And I'm sick of this, but I end up in this predicament
I would rather go somewhere and pitch a tent
Then to stay here with you acting ignorant
You ain't right, no, no
I thought you loved me
You ain't right, no, no
You shouldn't take for granted my love
'cause one day it could be gone
Taking the best of me and my love
I gave to you and you gave me none
You ain't right, no, no
I thought you loved me
You ain't right, no, no
In Carl Thomas's song "You Ain't Right," the singer laments his partner's behavior, which is characterized by constant negativity and a lack of effort to maintain their household. He describes working long hours to provide for their home and car, yet returning home to nothing but complaints and negative energy from his partner. He notes that she makes noise, despite not working during the day, and he questions what she contributes to their relationship beyond negativity. The singer admits that he is at his breaking point, frustrated with his partner's immature behavior, complaints, and lack of effort to keep their home running smoothly.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You ain't right," expressing the singer's discontent with his partner's behavior. He thought she loved him, but her actions do not reflect that. He believes they should be a team, and he wishes she would contribute by cooking and cleaning. Instead, she responds to his inquiries with aggression and immaturity, leading him to question whether their relationship is worth it. The singer warns his partner that she shouldn't take his love for granted and that one day he might be gone, taking his love with him.
Overall, the lyrics to "You Ain't Right" are a cautionary tale about the dangers of a relationship where one partner contributes little and takes their partner's efforts for granted. The singer warns his partner that their relationship is in jeopardy due to her behavior, and he encourages her to appreciate what he brings to their relationship before it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm working hard
I am putting in a lot of effort
50 hours a week paying for the car
I am working long hours to pay for the car
And the house we had built on the boulevard
We have a nice house in a good location
And as soon as you get home you want to start
But you always want to argue as soon as you get home
With something negative
You always bring up negative things
Besides physical harm, what do you give
Besides hurting me physically, what else do you contribute?
And you make lots of noise for someone who sits
You are very loud for someone who does not work
At home all day watching One Life To Live
You spend your day watching TV
You ain't right, no, no
You are not treating me right
I thought you loved me
I used to believe that you loved me
We're suppose to be a team
We are supposed to be working together
At least you could do things like cook and clean
You could at least help with household chores
But I ask you what's up, you start looking mean
But when I try to communicate, you become angry
Smackin' your lips like you're still a teenager
You act immaturely
And I'm sick of this, but I end up in this predicament
I am tired of this situation but don't know how to fix it
I would rather go somewhere and pitch a tent
I would rather be somewhere else, even camping
Then to stay here with you acting ignorant
Rather than staying here with you acting stupid
You shouldn't take for granted my love
You should appreciate my love for you
'cause one day it could be gone
Because one day I might leave you
Taking the best of me and my love
Taking my best qualities and my love
I gave to you and you gave me none
That I gave to you but received nothing in return
