Worst Case Scenario
Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never Paid Enough Attention
There's Some Things I Should Have Mentioned, Oh baby
Never Held You When We Kicked It
See The Times that's All You Needed
Didn't Notice All The Signs You Were Sending
Didn't Think Not For A Moment We'd Be Ending, No
Every Time That I Lie, Made You Cry,
And Erased Your Smile
Blackberry Blowin Up
Turn It Off
Just Wanna Be Alone
If It ain't You Then I'm Not Home
Heard he's Moving In And Your Moving On
Well Congratulations Baby
Someone Else Making Love To You
Its Killing Me To Think Of You In Bed With
Somebody New
Giving You That Extra Spark
Dipping In Your Goodie Jar
This Could Be By Far
The Worst Case Scenario
Someone Else Zipping Up Your Dress
Complimenting You On How You Look So Damn Sexy
Somebody Deep In Love
Could Turn Around And Mess It Up
This Could Be By Far
The Worst Case Scenario
(No more) Two Man's Face
(No Sex) In The Escalade
Me Watching Your Booty
While You Watching The Movie
(No Trips) To The West Indies
(No Chilling) In The VIP
And I can't Believe That Its Over,
It's Over, It's Over
Blackberry Blowin Up
Turn It Off
Just Wanna Be Alone
If It ain't You Then I'm Not Home
I Heard he's Moving In And Your Moving On
Well Congratulations Baby
Someone Else Making Love To You

Does He Call You Baby Girl
Can He Really Rock Your World
No one Can Do You The Way I Do
Can You Tell Me there's No Spark
Burning Inside Your Heart
I Do Believe, You Still Love Me
Someone Else Making Love To You
Its Killing Me To Think Of You In Bed With
Somebody New
Giving You That Extra Spark
Dipping In Your Goodie Jar
This Could Be By Far

The Worst Case Scenario
The song "Worst Case Scenario" by Joe is a ballad about heartbreak and regret. The lyrics suggest that the singer did not pay enough attention to the signs his partner was sending him, and that he neglected her emotionally. The chorus is a repetition of the notion that the worst case scenario has occurred, which is that his former partner is now with someone else, and the singer is left alone to deal with his feelings of loss.
The verses describe the singer's thoughts about his past relationship. He hints that he was unfaithful and dishonest, which caused the relationship to fall apart. The singer is regretful about what he has done and wishes that he had paid more attention to his partner. The chorus repeats the idea that the worst case scenario has happened, and that his ex-partner is with someone else. The song ends with the singer asking whether his ex still loves him and whether their relationship could be rekindled.
Overall, "Worst Case Scenario" is a melancholic song that expresses the pain of lost love and the regret of not valuing a partner enough.

Joe never let us down. This is one of those songs you just have to sit down & think on. Especially when you took advantage of someone being with you. You never know what you have til you see someone else with it
