I Can't Understand It Lyrics

Oh oh
Oh oh

Back against the wall
But you know the weekend's on it's way
Waiting for the fall
But you know the weekend's on it's way

I got my eyes on you
I see some trouble comin' into view
Don't you know that I'm doin' alright on my own

I can't understand it
What's a matter with you oh oh
I can't understand it
What's a poor man to do, oh oh oh oh oh

Walking down the hall please stop in anytime of day
Let's do more than talk
About the weekend games we play

I set my sights on you
Let's make tonight a deep interview
Don't you know that I'm doin' alright on my own

I ain't out to destroy you, oh
I'm comin' out to enjoy you, oh
It's just a case of paranoia in my brain

I've got my eyes on you
I've got my gun loaded just for two
If you knew my feelings
I'm tellin' the truth

I can't understand it
What's a matter with you oh oh
I can't understand it
What's a poor man to do, oh oh oh oh oh

I can't understand it
What's a matter with you oh oh
I can't understand it
What's a poor man to do, oh oh oh oh oh

I can't understand it
What's a matter with you oh oh
I can't understand it
What's a poor man to do, oh oh oh oh oh

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.
