What You're Doing
Moonchild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like you're probably thinking
I don't know why I
Laugh at everything you say
Shoulda stepped outside lost in your eyes
I'll spend tomorrow
Wishing I had walked away
I'm cooler than this i'm funny, dammit
I don't really understand it, no
I'm better than this i'm smarter than this
I'm cooler than this i'm funny, dammit
I don't really understand it
What you're doing to me
What you're doing to me
You got me high up, and outta hand, oh
What you're doing to me
What you're doing to me
You got me high up, and outta hand, oh
What you're doing to me
I dream about ya
Saying, "Can't live without ya"
No, I'm not crazy
But dreaming eyes aren't built to behave
I keep my distance but the universe insists
On laughing at me
Guess who we ran into today
I'm better than this i'm smarter than this
I'm cooler than this i'm funny, dammit
I don't really understand it, no i'm better
I know I'm smarter i'm cooler than this
I'm funny, dammit
I don't really understand it
What you're doing to me
What you're doing to me
You got me high up, and outta hand
Oh, what you're doing to me
What you're doing to me
You got me high up, and outta hand
What you're doing to me
You'd be so lucky
Lucky to have me in your life
These butterflies get me every time
What you're doing to me
What you're doing to me
You got me high up, it's outta hand
Oh, what you're doing to me
What you're doing to me
What you're doing to me got me high up, oh
I'm funny, dammit i don't understand it
Oh, my dreaming eyes aren't built to behave
(I'm funny, dammit) dammit
(I don't understand) what you do
(I'm funny, dammit) what you're doing
(I don't understand)
The lyrics to Moonchild's song "What You're Doing" speak to the feelings of being caught up in the allure of someone, despite knowing deep down that it may not be the best choice. The song captures the internal struggle of the singer, who initially denies any influence from the other person, proclaiming that they weren't drinking and claiming to be better, smarter, and cooler. However, it becomes evident that they are deeply affected by the other person's presence.
The lyrics describe the singer's temptation to stay, even though they should have walked away. They admit to dreaming about the other person and feeling unable to live without them, illustrating the battle between reason and desire. The universe seems to conspire against the singer, as they run into the person unexpectedly, highlighting their inability to truly distance themselves. The chorus repeats the plea for the other person to understand the impact they have, how they make the singer feel high and out of control.
In the final verse, the singer asserts that the person should consider themselves lucky to have them in their life, suggesting that they bring something valuable to the relationship as well. But ultimately, they acknowledge that the butterflies in their stomach are a constant reminder of the power the other person holds over them.
Overall, "What You're Doing" is an introspective and honest exploration of the conflicting emotions that arise when someone has a hold on your heart, even though you may know it's not the wisest choice.
