Just When You're Having Fun Lyrics

Only a fool's unwise
I don't know why I should be so surprised
God knows what we've done
Much better to be late than too soon
You know you never get much running room
And just when you're having fun
Someone comes along
Just when you're having fun
Just as my life goes according to plan
And I thought I held love in the palm of my hand
Because I have no tears
This whole thing must be your idea, baby
Don't make me confess
I know my limits well
So long ago they were shot to hell
Just let me rest with you
That's all I want to do
Just when you're having fun
Just as my intentions had become worthwhile
And I've taken the steps to be walked down
the aisle
Just as I stand tall from out of my seat
The ground has come up firmly under my feet
Just when you're having fun

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I have always been deeply enchanted by this song and return to it often. It's true meaning escapes me, which is fine. I can't tell if it's about a new love disrupting one's life that was going so well or ...something else. I love the oblique lyrics and the mystery of what is going on. Musically, the oh-oh-ohs are wonderful and her vocals are horribly over the top mixing despair and elation. Quite a song!
