Something About You
jamiroquai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I can't let go of since that night
Something, baby, about you
That was feeling right
Right, all night
Some things you don't think you're missing
'Til you know you want them back so much, whoa
Dancin' something like I used to do with you
I gotta say I still think about
All the things we did
I couldn't find a way to work it out
I didn't know how to give
It's so tragic
To lose that magic
And now I'm alone
I see your smile in every dream
My heart is stone, baby
Why'd I have to be so mean?
Feel like dancin'
Feel like dancin'
Takin' chances
Something, baby, about you
That I can't let go of since that night
Something, baby, about you
That was feeling right
Right, all night
Some things you don't think you're missing
'Til you know you want them back so much, whoa
Dancin' something like I used to do with you
I remember
We freaks out on the beach
Like Nebuchadnezzar
Sweet love from dusk to dawn
'Til the sky ran out of stars yeah
Feel like dancing
Feel like dancing
You're like Candy Crush
Two hits I was addicted to ya
Baby, gets a rush
Thinkin' of these night manoeuvres
Feel like dancing
Feel like dancing
Takin' chances
Something, baby, about you
That I can't let go of since that night
Something, baby, about you
That was feeling right
Right, all night
Some things you don't think you're missing
'Til you know you want them back so much, whoa
Dancin' something like I used to do with you
I had sixteen days of your magic
When you took me on a crazy trip
Still underneath it couldn't be more tragic
Everything was hidden in your kiss
Something about you
Something like I used to do with you
Something about you
Something like I used to do with you
Something about you
Something like I used to do with you
Got to say
Something about you
Something like I used to do with you
Got to say
All night it's
All night it's
All night it's
All night it's
The lyrics of Jamiroquai's song "Something About You" express a deep longing and nostalgia for a past love. The singer reminisces about a special connection they had with someone, referencing a night when everything felt right and they were dancing together. There's an intangible quality about this person that the singer can't let go of, even though they didn't realize what they were missing until it was gone. The chorus conveys the desire to dance and take chances again, evoking a sense of freedom and joy that was present when they were with this person.
The second verse reveals the regret and sadness the singer feels for not being able to work things out with their former lover. They acknowledge that losing the magic they once had is tragic, and they now find themselves alone, haunted by memories of their smiles in dreams. The line "Why'd I have to be so mean?" expresses remorse and self-blame for damaging the relationship. Yet, despite the pain, the singer still feels the urge to dance and take chances, hoping to recapture what was lost.
Overall, the song beautifully captures the conflicting emotions of yearning for someone who was once significant, while also acknowledging the inability to fully move on and recreate that same connection.

Something, baby, about you
There is a certain quality or aspect of you, my significant other, that captivates me and holds my attention
That I can't let go of since that night
Since that particular moment in time, I have been unable to detach myself from this feeling or thought associated with you
That was feeling right
That feeling was comforting and satisfying
Right, all night
Throughout the entire night, that feeling persisted and remained present
Some things you don't think you're missing
There are certain things or experiences that one may not realize they are longing for or lacking
'Til you know you want them back so much, whoa
Until you become aware of how much you desire their return, you do not understand the extent of your longing
Dancin' something like I used to do with you
Engaging in a similar type of dance or movement as I used to do with you, reminiscent of our past together
I gotta say I still think about
I must admit that I still frequently contemplate
All the things we did
All the activities, experiences, and moments we shared
I couldn't find a way to work it out
I was unable to find a solution or resolve the situation
I didn't know how to give
I lacked the understanding or knowledge of how to give myself fully in the relationship
It's so tragic
It is incredibly unfortunate or sad
To lose that magic
To no longer have that special and enchanting connection
And now I'm alone
Presently, I find myself in solitude
I see your smile in every dream
In my dreams, your smile appears and remains vivid in my mind
My heart is stone, baby
Metaphorically, my heart has become hardened and unfeeling
Why'd I have to be so mean?
I reflect upon my actions and regret why I chose to be unkind or hurtful
Feel like dancin'
I have the desire and inclination to dance or move joyfully
Takin' chances
Risking and embracing new opportunities and experiences
I remember
I recall
We freaks out on the beach
We passionately and uninhibitedly expressed ourselves on the beach
Like Nebuchadnezzar
In a grand and extravagant manner, reminiscent of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar
Sweet love from dusk to dawn
Intense and affectionate love shared throughout the entire night
'Til the sky ran out of stars yeah
Continuing our love until the point where there were no more stars visible in the sky
You're like Candy Crush
You have a similar addictive effect on me as the popular mobile game Candy Crush
Two hits I was addicted to ya
Just like consuming drugs, I became dependent and hooked after experiencing your affection twice
Baby, gets a rush
My baby, you exhilarate and excite me
Thinkin' of these night manoeuvres
Reflecting upon the various actions and maneuvers we engaged in during the night
I had sixteen days of your magic
I experienced the enchanting and captivating influence of your presence for a duration of sixteen days
When you took me on a crazy trip
During the time you led me on an adventurous and unpredictable journey
Still underneath it couldn't be more tragic
Despite everything, underneath the surface, the situation was incredibly sad and unfortunate
Everything was hidden in your kiss
All the emotions, secrets, and depths of our connection were concealed within your kiss
Got to say
I must express
All night it's
Throughout the entire night, it is
All night it's
Throughout the entire night, it is
All night it's
Throughout the entire night, it is
All night it's
Throughout the entire night, it is
