Just a Story
Mike Rogers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna have you now
Let me hold you tight all day long
Wanna kiss you now
Wanna tell you this
Let me take you tight all day long
When you tell me that you love me
It's just a story
Wanna have you
Now
Let me hold you tight
All day long
I can take you
All day long
Make you feel so right
Wanna show you now
Let me hold you tight all day long
Wanna kiss you now
Gonna tell you dis
Let me take you tight all day long
Refren:
It's just a story,
And you know the story, don't j00?
It's just a story,
Can't j00 see?
It's just a story,
And you know the story, don't j00?
Moving tonight
What's the problem now?
Wanna have you now
Let me hold you tight all day long
Wanna kiss you now
Wanna tell you this
Let me take you tight all day long
The lyrics to Mike Rogers's song "Just a Story" talk about the desire to be close to someone and hold them tight all day long. The singer expresses their longing to kiss and tell the person how much they want to be with them. However, the singer acknowledges that this may only be a fable or a tale, hence the title "It's just a story." The lyrics seem to capture the intense emotions and fantasies that can come with infatuation or a new relationship, but also suggest that these feelings may not necessarily be real or last forever.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It's just a story" several times, emphasizing the idea that what the singer is feeling may not be entirely true or may be exaggerated in their mind. However, the repetition also highlights the urge to keep believing in the possibility of the connection between the two people.
Overall, the lyrics of "Just a Story" convey a common theme of longing and desire, but also convey a sense of uncertainty and ambiguity that comes with new relationships.

The song has a STRONG MELODY, especially in the CHORUS. This is ABSOLUTE ITALO-MAGIC!!! This combination of the melody line being both based on minor tones, and at the same time, swinging, not a contradiction - but these elements of the song are reeenforcing each other, and together make italo magic. Also every little tone is so elaborated, giving beautiful harmonies. was born in the 60s, and spent much of the 80s dancing. That´s when I discovered italo.I understood that it was a new musical era. I think italo is generally stronger than anglosaxon 70s disco. It really makes me wanna dance more. :-)

Well stated!

@Michele Laraia OK. I´m Swedish, so English is not my language, but I have changed the spelling now.
