Confused
Lenny Kravitz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talkin' 'bout a man
I just can't seem to get it together
Joining hand to hand
The clock, it ticks and it tocks
But my heart is on the rocks
I'm confused, so confused
I'm confused, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I can't choose
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Let me feel good inside
All I wanna do is love you, love you, love you
Instead of making you cry
But when I come around
I'd just left another on the other side of town
I'm confused, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I can't choose
I'm confused, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I can't choose
You ask me if I love you, baby
And I tell that I do
But don't you ask me if you're the only one, woman
'Cause' I can't say that it's true
Talkin' about a woman
Talkin 'bout a man
I just can't seem to get it together
Join woman to man hand to hand
The clock it ticks and it tocks
But my heart is on the rocks
I'm confused, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I can't choose
I'm confused yeah, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I can't choose
I'm confused, yes I am darlin', so confused,
And I got to tell you something's wrong with my views,
I can't choose
I'm confused, I mercy, so confused,
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I just can't, I just can't choose
Oh yeah baby
It's a dog gone shame
The lyrics to Lenny Kravitz's song Confused express the confusion and inner turmoil of the singer when it comes to matters of love and relationships with both men and women. He cannot seem to make up his mind about who he loves or who he wants to be with, and feels torn between different partners on different sides of the town. He wants to love and be loved without hurting anyone, but he cannot seem to find a way to do so. He admits that something is wrong with his views and that he is confused, hence the title of the song.
The clock ticking and tocking expresses the passage of time and the urgency of the situation, but his heart is still on the rocks, suggesting that he is unable to express his true feelings or make a firm decision. He wants to feel good inside and love someone, but he keeps making mistakes that result in hurt feelings and tears. The repetition of the phrase "I'm confused, so confused" emphasizes the singer's sense of uncertainty and lack of clarity when it comes to matters of the heart.
Overall, the song captures a feeling of restlessness, confusion and ambiguity that many people can relate to when it comes to love and relationships.

But when I come around
When I'm present
I'd just left another on the other side of town
I was previously with someone else
You ask me if I love you, baby
Asking if I have romantic feelings for you
And I tell that I do
I confirm my love for you
But don't you ask me if you're the only one, woman
Don't ask if you're the only person I'm involved with
'Cause' I can't say that it's true
Because it's not true
