DO YOU THINK THAT’S FAIR As recorded by John Mellencamp (From the 1979 Album JOHN COUGAR) [Intro]                             [Verse 1] Well I see you’ve got a new boyfriend Got your mixed-up husband too I got $25 dollars in my pocket Want me to spend it all on you? [Verse 2] But I know that you would cheat on all of us That’s just the way that you do Hey girl I don’t care where you been I know I’ve been there too [Chorus] Woo woo baby do you think that that’s fair? Do we really have to be so lonely and so scared Woo woo baby do you think that that’s fair? Well I know it’s up to me and you We can make this thing turn out like we want to Oh whoa Oh whoa Oh whoa Oh whoa [Verse 3] Well last time I thought about you Didn’t really think that much And the last time we spoke you said You were afraid of my touch [Verse 4] And then you went your way I stumbled down a highway I went mine You know I think that it’s funny The way infatuation gets beat up by time [Chorus] Woo woo baby do you think that that’s fair? Do we really have to be so lonely and so scared [Keyboard Solo]                  [Bridge] Oh whoa Oh whoa Oh whoa Oh whoa [Verse 5] Well I see your life has evolved Into one big masquerade And all those old fools you used to run to They shot you full of old age [Verse 6] Well don’t go expecting too much no no From your new love affair Probably fall flat on his face No one to pick you up no one who cares [Chorus] Woo woo baby do you think that that’s fair? Do we really have to be so lonely and so scared Woo woo baby do you think that that’s fair? Well I know it’s up to me and you We can make this thing turn out like we want to Oh whoa Oh whoa Oh whoa Oh whoa [Outro]

La chanson parle des relations compliquées et des sentiments de solitude qui en découlent. Elle évoque une histoire d'amour où les partenaires semblent piégés dans des mensonges et des infidélités. Le narrateur se demande s'il est juste de vivre dans la peur et la tristesse, tout en soulignant qu'il est possible de changer cette situation en agissant ensemble. Le contexte est celui d'une époque où les relations amoureuses sont souvent superficielles et marquées par des déceptions. À travers des réflexions personnelles, il semble qu'il y ait un besoin de sincérité et de connexion authentique entre les individus.
