If She Would Have Been Faithful... Lyrics
Visiting the past
Reconstructing details with old photographs
Studying the faces
With an objective point of view
Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me
At the time you couldn't tell me
That one day I'd be glad
That something that I thought was love was misinterpreted
She had another lover- she emphatically denied
But they were doin' me a favor
A blessing in disguise
If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you
There's no doubt about it
This is where I want to be
It's so ironic- I had to lose to win
I want to thank her (Thank her again)
It's a paradox- full of contradiction
How I got from there to here
It defies a
Logical explanation
I love this song! It sounds great, but the lyrics are insane. It's like someone wrote lyrics with a thesaurus. Its a paradox full of contradictions? Yeah, that's a paradox all right. It does defy a logical explanation. But that's what makes it great!
Obviously, this song is saying that if his ex-love hadn't cheated on him, he wouldn't have found his new long. "I had to lose to win" -- it was probably really hard to lose the other woman, but now he's glad cause if he hadn't ever lost, he wouldn't have won with the woman he's with now, who apparently is MUCH better than the last girl.
DP, you are SO right... I remember hearing this song when I was 11 and wondering why they tried to hard to force such big words into the song, it makes it so ridiculous!!
