Didididam
Raft Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Friday night you and your boys went out to eat, uh
Then they hung out
But you came home around three, yes you did
If six of y'all went out, uh
Then four of you were really cheap, yeah
'Cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt
It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
And don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy, yeah, uh

I'll pack your bags so you can leave town for a week, yes I am
The phone rings and then you look at me
Why'd you turn and look at me
You said it was one of your friends
Down on 54th street, boy
So why did 213 show up on your caller I.D., oh

I've been through all this before
Don't think about it, don't think about it
Get gone, get gone
Things have got to change baby
You don't stand a chance boy
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you turn around
There's no more tears left here for you to see

Was it really worth you going out like that, tell me, oh
See I'm moving on
And I refuse to turn back, yeah
See all of this time
I thought I had somebody down for Whitney
It turns out, you were making a fool of me, oh

Show'd up okay
Make it anyway
Pack your bags, get up and leave
Don't you dare, back to me boy
It's not right, it's okay
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, uh
Close your door and leave your key
Rather be alone an' happy, oh

It's not right, It's okay baby
I can pay my own rent
Pave my life now
Take care of my business, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh Lord, oh Lord, ooo
Give it up and leave
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rather be alone, be alone happy

I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
Doo, doo, doo, doo
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
Doo, doo, doo

It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy, yeah





It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Raft's song Didididam are about a woman who has discovered that her partner has been cheating on her. She confronts him with evidence of his infidelity, including a credit card receipt and a suspicious phone call, and orders him to leave. Despite the heartbreak, she is determined to move on and make a new life for herself.


The lyrics are filled with emotion and determination, as the woman makes a clear and direct statement about her worth and her ability to thrive without her partner. The chorus ("It's not right, but it's okay / I'm gonna make it anyway") is a powerful statement of self-reliance and self-love, and the repeated refrain ("I'd rather be alone than unhappy") underscores the importance of prioritizing one's own well-being.

Excellent de reecouter Raft, groupe qui a bercer ma jeunesse dans les annees 80' 😃 grace a ma maman qui ecoute la radio en permanence et raft qui etait joue souvent. Maintenant, 40 berges et exile a l'etranger, c'est mes marmots qui ecoutent avec moi 😃

Super d'écouter aussi ce titre de l'album et voir le clip que je n'avais jamais vu . Le rythme est vraiment top et c'est tellement cool ! Un charme particulier du à la voix unique et pleine du charme du chanteur . C'est une voix dont je me souviens et que je n'ai pas oublié . TRES BEAU , MERCI POUR LE PARTAGE !

Jersey Road Archives

This is a largely unknown album but quite possibly one of the best from the 1980s. Not raft releases, all releases. Surely one of the best albums ever recorded by anyone,

Dernier succes de ce groupe je pense bien, ça doit dater de fin 89. J'aime beaucoup cette chanson.
