Where I Ought To Be:Skeeter Davis. #9 on BB Hot Country on RCA Records in 1962. INTRO: #1. I got your wedding invitation. I’m surprised you thought of me. But I don’t believe your wedding is just where I ought to be. #2. For you put your arms around her kiss her lips so tenderly. As she’s standing there beside you that’s just where I ought to be. CHORUS: Like a fool I introduced you. I said baby meet my friend. Never thought I could lose you. But I lost you there and then. #3. I took the diamond ring you gave me. Threw it way out in the sea. And I had an awful feeling.. that’s just where I ought to be. BRIDGE: Da-da-da-da-da-da-dee-dum.. Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum.. Da-da-da-da-da-da-dee-dum.. Da-da-dee-da-dee-da-dum.. CHORUS: Like a fool I introduced you. I said baby meet my friend. Never thought I could lose you. But I lost you there and then. #4. I took the diamond ring you gave me. Threw it way out in the sea. And I had an awful feeling.. that’s just where I ought to be. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le chagrin d'une personne qui reçoit une invitation à un mariage, celle de son ancien amour. Elle se rend compte que sa présence à cette célébration ne fait qu'accentuer sa douleur, car elle souhaite être à la place de l'autre, partageant des instants de tendresse et d'affection. La narratrice, bien qu'elle ait introduit son ancien partenaire à une nouvelle compagne, se sent comme une idiote en réalisant qu'elle l'a perdu. Le sentiment de perte est renforcé lorsqu'elle évoque avoir jeté la bague qu'il lui avait offerte, symbolisant ainsi sa peine et une certaine étape de détachement. Tout cela souligne l'idée qu'elle se trouve exactement là où elle ne souhaite pas être, un reflet poignant de la mélancolie et de la nostalgie de l'amour perdu.
