Something Isn't Right Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Once in a lifetime something happens 

No one understands 

Turns the whole world inside out 

Turns water into blazing sand 

Who in the world would ever guess 

That something wasn't right? 

Who can explain when the sun comes up 

In the middle of a winter night? 

I'm burning up now, baby 

I'm burning up now, baby, baby please 

Who would have guessed that 

When I first set eyes upon your face 

History would be rearranged 

And nothing would ever be the same? 

Who would believe that in my heart 

Is a piece of burning coal 

Slowly turning from a fire 

To a raging blaze without control? 

I'm burning up now, baby 

I'm burning up now, baby 

I've seen so much, it scares me 

I can't cool off 'cause something isn't right 

What do you think would happen 

If I sat outside your door? 

Howled like a dog and played guitar 

And begged you baby, baby please 

How do you think your folks would feel 

If I broke into your house? 

Snuck in your room while you were asleep 

And prayed to you, down, on my knees 

I'm burning up now, baby 

I'm burning up now, baby 

I've seen so much, it scares me 

I can't cool off 'cause something isn't right 

Who in the world would ever guess 

That somewhere in the middle of our cozy nest 

There were dark things lurking in the back of your mind? 

Just open the window and look with your eyes 

Where in the good book does it say 

That destiny cannot be changed 

Who in the world would ever know 

If you walked out the door and never came home? 

'Cause something is not right
