Q&A
Was It Something I Said? Lyrics
Me and Valentina went down to the chapel
But the gates were shut
I had my vows in my pocket
And a gold-plated ring
For my honey love
We headed down Tropicana
To the corner with the late night restaurant
We sat across from each other
And I looked in her eyes
And there was something gone
Was it something that I said or did?
Was it something that I should have kept hid?
If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina this is not like you
I got a job at the Nugget
And I saved a thousand dollars
For a brand new start
She said I didn't want to do it
But I did it 'cause I didn't want to break your heart
The waiter whispered when he said
We had to take the conversation to the parking lot
Please, baby please, Valentina
Baby, you're the only thing I've got
Was it something that I said or did?
Was it something that I should have kept hid?
If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina this is not like you
I hear church bells ringing in my head
And I take them everywhere I go
Valentina met a dealer
And I hear they had a baby five months ago
Was it something that I said or did?
Was it something that I should have kept hid?
If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina don't say it's true
This is not like you
But the gates were shut
I had my vows in my pocket
And a gold-plated ring
For my honey love
To the corner with the late night restaurant
We sat across from each other
And I looked in her eyes
And there was something gone
Was it something that I should have kept hid?
If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina this is not like you
And I saved a thousand dollars
For a brand new start
She said I didn't want to do it
But I did it 'cause I didn't want to break your heart
The waiter whispered when he said
We had to take the conversation to the parking lot
Please, baby please, Valentina
Baby, you're the only thing I've got
Was it something that I should have kept hid?
If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina this is not like you
And I take them everywhere I go
Valentina met a dealer
And I hear they had a baby five months ago
Was it something that I should have kept hid?
If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina don't say it's true
This is not like you

This song is pretty straight forward... I've missed hearing songs that just tell a simple, uncomplicated story.
I literally laughed out loud when I heard him say she met a dealer. I totally wasn't expecting that. I'm so looking forward to having this album (well, the songs I don't have yet xD).
This is Definitely my favorite song off his Flamingo album. It's so catchy and fun.
I'm pretty sure "And I looked in her eyes/ And there was something gone" aught to be "When I looked in her eyes/ There was something gone" just a little change...
I love this song!
All of Brandon Flowers songs mean so much more to me after a week of vacation in Las Vegas (his hometown), and they seem so much simpler as well. For example, the "chapel" refers to any one of those cheap little wedding chapels in Vegas, "Tropicana" is an actual street name (as well as a casino), and "dealer" isn't a drug dealer; it's a dealer in a casino.
This song's one of my favorite in the album. A guy who's been dumped by his girlfriend. I should be familiar with this song! :)
Awe I love it! Happy birthday Flowers!
