Katie
David Ford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all is fine
Oh call me paranoid,
But I think something's going on.
I know you'd say
It looks ok
Yeah, but I've got my suspicions
'Cause I'm a reasonable guy
But I can't shake this
And I don't know why.
Experience brings
A kind of sense for these things
So call me paranoid
But I think something's going on
'Cause it seems alright
Oh but it's too damn quiet
And I tell you I don't like it.
Oh God, I wish it isn't so.
'Cause I'm a reasonable guy,
But I can't shake this
And I don't know why.
Katie, will you say to me?
Will you just laugh and tell me that I've got it wrong?
Katie, will you say to me?
Will you just tell me please what the fuck is going on?
Oh, for goodness sake
Now you know I'd hate to come over obsessive,
'Cause I'm really, really, really,
I'm not like that at all
Did I say too much?
Yeah well not as such
Oh look, but there I go again.
No this really is not how I am.
It's just there's something in my mind
That says where were you last nght?
Katie, will you say to me?
Will you just laugh and tell me that I've got it wrong?
Katie, will you say to me?
Will you just tell me please what the fuck is going on?
The lyrics to David Ford's song "Katie" are about a man who is feeling paranoid about his relationship with his partner, Katie. The song starts with the man admitting that he might be paranoid, but he still believes that something is going on. He is trying to make sense of his feelings and is torn between being a reasonable guy and someone who can't shake off his suspicions. The man is relying on his experience to determine that something is not right, and he wishes it wasn't so. However, he is unable to shake off his suspicions, and he wants Katie to tell him what is going on.
The man is torn between being reasonable and being anxious about the relationship, and this is evident in the chorus where he pleads with Katie to tell him what is happening. He is eager for her to reassure him that everything is fine, but he's also afraid that she might confirm his fears. Despite feeling paranoid, the man insists that he is not usually this way, and he is afraid that he might come across as obsessive. The song is a great representation of how it feels to be in a relationship with mixed emotions.

All this time
Over an extended period of time
And all is fine
Everything appears to be in good shape
Oh call me paranoid,
Acknowledge my tendency to be overly suspicious
But I think something's going on.
Believe that something is happening behind the scenes
I know you'd say
Aware that you would respond
It looks ok
Everything appears to be normal
Yeah, but I've got my suspicions
However, I have my doubts
But I don't want to be like this.
But I do not want to feel this way
'Cause I'm a reasonable guy
Since I am a rational individual
But I can't shake this
However, I am unable to rid myself of this feeling
And I don't know why.
And I am uncertain as to why
Experience brings
Time spent encountering situations
A kind of sense for these things
An ability to recognize occurrences of these sorts
So call me paranoid
Therefore identify me as overly suspicious
But I think something's going on
But I suspect that something is occurring
'Cause it seems alright

And I dislike it greatly
Oh God, I wish it isn't so.
Oh God, I hope that it has not occurred

Katie, will you say to me?
Katie, will you respond to me?

Will you kindly explain to me what exactly is happening?
Oh, for goodness sake
An expression of frustration or annoyance
Now you know I'd hate to come over obsessive,
Now you know that I would despise becoming overly consumed
'Cause I'm really, really, really,
Since I am honestly, sincerely, exceptionally
I'm not like that at all
That is not who I am
Did I say too much?
Might I have spoken excessively?
Yeah well not as such
Not necessarily, no
Oh look, but there I go again.
Oh look, I am doing it again.
No this really is not how I am.
Honestly, this is not how I usually act.
It's just there's something in my mind
It's just that something is lingering in my thoughts
That says where were you last nght?
Which makes me wonder where you were last night.
Katie, will you say to me?
Katie, will you respond to me?
Will you just laugh and tell me that I've got it wrong?
Will you only laugh and inform me that I am mistaken?
Katie, will you say to me?
Katie, will you respond to me?
Will you just tell me please what the fuck is going on?
Will you kindly explain to me what exactly is happening?
