Worst Comes To Worst
Marie Davidson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh and I want you close to me
Oh and I want you close to me

Show me, show me, show me, show me
Show me the way
Show me, show me, show me, show me
Show me the way
Boy you really got me stuck

Worst comes to worst
I'm feeling down
There ain't no looking back around
This time you really got me stuck
This time you really got me stuck

And I thought that I could turn myself around
Yeah I really thought that I could take it upside down
I said I want you
And I thought that I could turn myself around
I really, really, thought that I could take it upside down

Get back, get back
To what you were before
Get back, give back
What you took before
Get back, give back
Give yourself to me, I said I want you
Yeah, you're gonna give it away
I know, I know, I know
You're gonna give it away

So don't even try to turn your back around
Oh boy you really, really
Take me upside down

Worst comes to worst
I'm feeling down
There ain't no looking back around
This time you really got me stuck

And I thought that I could turn myself around
And I really thought that I could take it upside down
I said I want you
Yeah, you're gonna give it away
I know, I know, I know
You're gonna give it away

So don't even try to turn your back around
Oh boy you really, really
Take me upside down

Worst comes to worst
I'm feeling down




There ain't no looking back around
This time you really got me stuck

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Marie Davidson & L'Oeil Nu's song "Worst Comes To Worst" speak about the singer's desire to be close to someone they care about deeply. The repeated lines "Oh and I want you close to me" express the intensity of this desire, begging the subject to show them the way to be close. However, the second half of the song speaks about feeling stuck and down when things don't work out, despite the singer's initial optimism that they could turn things around. This repeated phrase of "worst comes to worst, I'm feeling down" emphasizes this feeling of being trapped and powerless to fix the situation.


The middle section of the song seems to be directed at the person who the singer is addressing, asking them to return to what they were before, give back what they took before, and give themselves to the singer. The phrase "you're gonna give it away" suggests that the singer believes that this person will eventually come to love them back, despite their current difficulties. The final refrain of "so don't even try to turn your back around, oh boy you really, really take me upside down" expresses the singer's vulnerability and desire to trust this person completely, even in difficult times.


Overall, "Worst Comes To Worst" is a song that captures the intense emotions of both desire and despair, and speaks to the complex feelings that come with loving someone deeply.
