QMS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Night creeping, it's all that I could do.
Talked till ___ about someone whose situation ___ then I start singing,
Baby, my heart's breakin', don't cry, that's not the thing to do.
I'd rather be lonely ___ In the mornin' sleep sun comes shine baby,
Thanked by you and the bells start ringing and though you love me, 'cause
You made me believe you if you don't take up your ___
Your good thing's gonna leave, you're gonna cry, baby,
But start singing girl, you got me jumpin' o pretty mama,
But just what you're doing ___ any case I really can't say, my mind is reelin',
I got the craziest feeling, sweet baby,
Whatever you're doin', you do it the right way,
Whatever you're doin', that's all right with me.
Say believin', that doesn't sound right with me baby, I will cry,
I just wanted you to be happy, but can't you see girl ___
Every little once in a while, I'm gonna catch an old freight train.
And grab me a ___ you're ___ that's what you're gonna do, I'd rather be lonely.
My heart is jumpin' girl, you stared somethin' inside of me,
I don't know what it is, I just can't say, my mind is reelin',
I got the craziest feelin' inside of me,
Whatever you're doing, you do it the right way,
Whatever you're doin', that's all right with me.
So uptight I love you ___ girl, I tried to love you, but I can't do nothin' right.
You know I love you, you're my sweet lovin' baby, have a little ___
You're drivin' me crazy, makin' me cry, that's not the thing to do,
I'd rather be lonely ... It is hard ...
I'll tell you, baby, you tried to tell me you're through tryin',
Girl, I will live in you or I'll be dyin', you little girl got me goin'.
And a whole lot of stuff that I just ___ gotta keep rollin' in the grass, baby.
That's not the thing to do, hm hm hm hm, my heart is jumpin',
I don't know what you're doing to me, baby, but I'm tryin' to tell you
That I just don't understand, my mind is reelin', I got the strangest feelin',
Whatever you're doin', you're doin' it right, babe,
Whatever you're doin' is all right with me.
The lyrics of the song "The Hat" by QMS explore the complexities of a relationship in which one person is unsure of their feelings while the other is deeply in love. The singer wakes up thinking about the object of their affection and spends the rest of the night obsessing over them, even talking about them with someone else before breaking into song. However, despite their love for the person, the singer would rather be lonely than be with them if they don't reciprocate the same feelings. The chorus reinforces this idea, stating that if the person doesn't take up their good thing, they will leave and the other person will be left crying.
The singer is confused by the actions of their lover, stating that they have a crazy feeling inside of them and that they just can't understand what's happening. They are trying to tell the other person that they love them, but sometimes they feel like they just can't do anything right. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer unsure of where they stand in the relationship.
Overall, "The Hat" is a song that explores the complexities of relationships and the emotions that come with them. It highlights the pain of unrequited love and the confusion that can come from trying to understand the actions of someone else.
