Something Stupid
Mariya Takeuchi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance,
I know that there′s a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all,
By saying something stupid
Like "I love you"
I can see it in your eyes,
That you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it′s just a line to you,
For me it's true
It never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find
Some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until
The evening gets late
And I′m alone with you
The time is right
Your perfume fills my head,
The stars get red
And oh the night′s so blue
And then I go and spoil it all,
By saying something stupid
Like "I love you"
The time is right
Your perfume fills my head,
The stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all,
By saying something stupid
Like "I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
Mariya Takeuchi's "Something Stupid" is a song about a man who is afraid to confess his love for someone because he doesn't want to seem too forward or scare away the person he's interested in. The lyrics show that he is trying to be patient and wait for the right moment to express his feelings. He stands in line and waits for the perfect opportunity to ask the person out. When they finally go out together, he is afraid that he will mess everything up and ruin his chances by saying something stupid or cliche. The song expresses his struggle to find the right words to say, and the fear of not being able to convey his true feelings.
The lyrics also convey the idea that sometimes people are afraid to admit their feelings, even when they are genuine. The singer of the song is trying to find a way to express himself without overwhelming the other person, and he is afraid of being rejected. However, he cannot help but feel like he's in love, and in the end, he cannot resist telling the other person how he feels. The song is a sweet and relatable depiction of the complexity of romantic relationships and the struggle to express oneself.
Line by Line Meaning
I know I stand in line,
I understand that I have to wait in line for you,
Until you think you have the time
Until you believe you can allocate your time,
To spend an evening with me
To have a night out with me,
And if we go someplace to dance,
Assuming we go somewhere to dance,
I know that there's a chance
I know there is the possibility,
You won't be leaving with me
You will not leave with me,
And afterwards we drop into
Afterward, we would visit,
A quiet little place
A place that is peaceful,
And have a drink or two
Have a couple of drinks,
And then I go and spoil it all,
But then I ruin it all,
By saying something stupid
By saying something foolish,
Like "I love you"
Such as telling someone 'I love you.'
I can see it in your eyes,
I can see from your look,
That you despise the same old lies
That you do not appreciate the same old untruths,
You heard the night before
You heard before,
And though it's just a line to you,
Although it seems meaningless to you,
For me it's true
For me, it is accurate,
It never seemed so right before
It never felt so correct previously,
I practice every day to find
Every day, I practice to discover,
Some clever lines to say
Some clever things to tell,
To make the meaning come through
To make myself perfectly clear,
But then I think I'll wait until
I have a feeling I will wait until,
The evening gets late
It gets later in the evening,
And I'm alone with you
And we are by ourselves,
The time is right
It is the opportune moment,
Your perfume fills my head,
Your scent occupies my mind,
The stars get red
The stars change color,
And oh the night's so blue
And the night seems so melancholic,
And then I go and spoil it all,
And then I ruin everything,
By saying something stupid
By saying something foolish,
Like "I love you"
Such as telling someone 'I love you.'
"I love you"
I love you,
"I love you"
I love you,
"I love you"
I love you,
"I love you"
I love you

No way a cover of this song existed. How could it have gone off the radar from me for this long?
