[Verse 1]
You think it's going alright
You think it's going fine, girl
You think there's nothing in it for you
I hope, I hope you don't mind
Gonna get you come around, baby
Wanna see you through it, well
Not makin' any promises maybe
That's only in the movies, movies

[Chorus]
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right

[Verse 2]
Prospect of a reconciliation
Memories of some funny conversation
Feel like taking a vacation
Like going to the moon, I can't afford it
Your mother with the bird's nest hairdo
Your brother with plenty of action
Your father's always thinking me a weirdo
I can't get no, I can't get no satisfaction
[Chorus]
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right

[Verse 3]
You think it's going alright
You think it's going fine, girl
You think there's nothing in it for you
I hope, I hope you don't mind
Your mother with the bird's nest hairdo
Your brother with plenty of action
Feel like taking a vacation
Like going to the moon, I can't afford it

[Chorus]
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
Things just-a don't seem-a
To be going right
