Just One Of Those Things
Laura Fygi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down

So goodbye, dear, and Amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then




It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

Overall Meaning

Laura Fygi's "Just One Of Those Things" is a song that speaks of a momentary love affair that's intense and exhilarating but ultimately unfulfilling. The first verse describes it as "just one of those things," a phrase that connotes a carefree, unimportant experience. The singer speaks of the relationship as if it were a game, a "crazy fling" that comes and goes like the ringing of a bell.


In the second verse, the singer seems to be speaking of a specific incident where they went out and had a fabulous time, the kind of experience that's euphoric and leaves you feeling like you've flown to the moon on "gossamer wings". But the tone shifts as they recognize that if they'd considered the future at the start of the relationship, they would have seen that it was "too hot, not to cool down." It's at this point that the singer says "goodbye" and acknowledges that while their relationship was a great time, it was just one of those things that eventually come to an end.


Fygi's rendition of the song conveys a sense of nostalgia, regret, and a touch of melancholy. The beautiful melody and lyrics capture the fleeting nature of love and remind us that sometimes even the most significant moments in our lives are merely "one of those things."
