It's Not Logical
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say the world's a ball and it turns around.
When it goes halfway, I'm upside down!
So why do my feet stay stuck on the ground? It's not logical!
My Mom said "Hon, does my hair look bad?" I said "Yes!"
She got mad. I tell truth, she tells Dad.

Is that logical?
It's not logical. It's not logical. It's not logical.
Is there Elmer's glue on the sole of my shoe?
I'm full, but they say, "one more bite."
I'm wide awake, but they saw, "Sleep tight!"
To say goodnight when it's still light? That's not logical.
"Be a good sport," I hear Dad say, "it's not win or lose,
It's how you play." His team gets beat, he faints away.
It's not logical. It's not logical. It's not logical.

It's logical.
Wake up Dad, it's not that bad! It lacks credibility,
for a crying out loud!
It's not logical. It's not logical. It's not logical.
A grown-up said it, it's gotta be true.
But does it make any sense to you?
Mix yellow with blue, it comes out green.
The strangest thing I've ever seen.
Red and yellow make tangerine? It that logical?
It's not logical. It's not logical. It's not logical.




It makes no sense! Rubbish! Baloney! Balderdash!
It's not logical. It's not logical. It's not logical.

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Not Logical" by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen represents the confusion and frustration of the two sisters over the illogical nature of the world. Throughout the song, the sisters bring up situations that defy logic, from their feet being stuck on the ground despite the world turning upside down to the contradictions of being told to take "one more bite" when they are already full. They also point out the hypocrisy of adults, such as when their mother asks if her hair looks bad but then gets mad when they tell the truth. They question the validity of things that adults say, such as mixing yellow and blue to get green, and ultimately decide that most things in life are simply not logical.

It also emphasizes the importance of truth and honesty, even if it is sometimes uncomfortable or leads to conflict. Ultimately, "It's Not Logical" encourages listeners to question the things they are told and to seek out rationality and sense in a sometimes senseless world.
