I’ve Got A Lot Of Things To Do:Johnny Burnette. #109 on BB Hot 100 on LIBERTY Records in 1961. INTRO: #1. I’ve got a lot of things to do since you said we’re through. I’m just as busy as a bee oh woe is me. I must admit it’s gettin’ rough..the days just aren’t long enough. I’ve got a lot of things to do since you said we’re through. CHORUS: I gotta walk the floor and sing the blues..ever since I heard the news. I gotta sit and cry all by myself since you put me on the shelf. I gotta hear the tick-tock of the clock..I gotta be alone by the telephone. I’ve got a lot of things to do since you said we’re through. #2. I gotta lose my appetite and never sleep at night. I gotta tell my broken heart that it’s wrong to part. And like a fool I gotta dream and hope and pray and even scheme. I’ve got a lot of things to do since you said we’re through. CHORUS: I gotta walk the floor and sing the blues..ever since I heard the news. I gotta sit and cry all by myself since you put me on the shelf. I gotta hear the tick-tock of the clock..I gotta be alone by the telephone. I’ve got a lot of things to do since you said we’re through. OUTRO: I’ve got a lot of things to do since you said we’re through. I’ve got a lot of things to do since you said we’re through. I’ve got a lot of things to do since you said we’re through..(Fade.) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le sentiment de perte et de désolation après une rupture. L'interprète exprime sa peine et son chagrin, décrivant comment le temps semble pesant et chaque minute est un rappel de l'absence de l'autre. Il se retrouve occupé avec des pensées tristes, errant parmi ses souvenirs, et partage comment cette douleur affecte sa vie quotidienne, y compris son appétit et son sommeil. Le contexte des années 60, une époque où la musique parlait souvent des émotions humaines et des relations, se retrouve ici. Les paroles reflètent une sincérité brute, commune dans les chansons de cette époque, illustrant la lutte personnelle face à la solitude et au chagrin.
