Johnny Fiasco Feat. Jackie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It don't matter anyhow
Ah, ain't no useโ toโ sit and wonderโ why, babe
Ah, if'n you don't knowโ by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Yeah eh look out your window, I'll be gone
Boy, you're the reason I'm travelin' on
Don't you think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use turnin' on your light, babe
The light I never knowed
Ain't no use turnin' on your light, boy
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still, I wish there's somethin' you
Would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talkin' anyway
Ah, don't you think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use callin' out my name
Boy like you never did before
And it ain't no use callin' out my name
Babe
I can't hear it, I can't hear ya any more
I'm sittin' 'n' thinkin' wonderin' all
Way down the road
I once loved a man, a boy I am told
I gave him my heart but he wanted my soul
Whoa oh
But don't think twice, it's all right
Well, I'm walkin' down that
Long, lonely road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye is too good a word, boy
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't a-sayin' that you treated me unkind
But you've coulda done better, I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
No, don't you think twice, it's all right
In Johnny Fiasco feat. Jackie's song "All Right," the singer expresses that they are aware of the inappropriate circumstances they find themselves in with their romantic interest, but their overpowering desire for this person makes everything else seem insignificant. The first verse highlights that the person they are with has a beautiful face that is not the one they were hoping for, but it's still charming enough to tempt them into continuing the relationship. Similarly, the second verse addresses the opposing nature of their encounter, explaining that the person's smile is lovely but not the one they wanted, yet they still find themselves enjoying it.
The singer goes on to express their happiness at meeting this person and admits they are attracted to them. There is someone from their past that they are trying to forget, and they wonder if this new love interest also has someone they want to forget. The final verse addresses the unlikeliness of their situation, as they are playing the wrong game with the wrong chips, but the temptation of the other person's lips is irresistible. They conclude that if the person is ever free, they will be more than willing to continue their affair.
Overall, the song captures the emotions of a person who is conflicted between their loyalty to someone from their past and the intense attraction they feel for someone else. The lyrics show that sometimes instead of being ruled by logic, we are more vulnerable to spontaneous emotions that lead us to do things we wouldn't characteristically do.
Line by Line Meaning
It's the wrong time, and the wrong place
The timing and location of our meeting aren't ideal
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
Your face is attractive, but it's not the face I'm looking for
It's not her face, but such a charming face
Your face is delightful in its own way
That it's all right with me
But I'm willing to accept it and see where it goes
It's the wrong song, in the wrong style
The music we're listening to doesn't match my tastes
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
Your smile is gorgeous, but not the one I am hoping to see
It's not her smile, but such a lovely smile
However, your smile is captivating in its own way
That it's all right with me
I'm fine with that and enjoy it nonetheless
You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm elated to have met you
I'm strangely attracted to you
I feel an unusual pull towards you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
However, I'm still attempting to move on from someone else
Don't you want to forget someone, too?
Do you have someone you're trying to forget, as well?
It's the wrong game, with the wrong chips
The situation we're in isn't ideal, and the odds are against us
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
Your lips are enticing, but they're not the right ones for me
They're not her lips, but they're such tempting lips
Still, your lips are alluring in their own way
That, if some night, you are free
And if there's a night when you're available
Then it's all right, yes, it's all right with me
I'm okay with pursuing things between us then, even if it's not perfect
