about

i performed this track in 1986 on a national TV show called "hey Hey It's saturday" I got signed to EMI records australia and it was released as a single. This is the original art work for that single. It was my first top 40 hit. the original version was produced by Red Symons (Skyhooks) . i have re recorded it to this version as i like it better as a swing song. I was trying to write a love song with a difference when i penned this one.

lyrics

I Don’t Understand Where I Fit In.
Words & Music By Barry Michael ©℗ 1986
When I’m thinking of you, you’re thinking of him
He’s thinking of me, Oh Baby,
I don’t understand where I fit in.
-------------------
And when I’m talking to you, you’re talking to him
He’s talking to me, Oh baby
I don’t understand where I fit in.
------------------
When we’re walking and we’re talking I can’t understand a word you say ‘cos,
He’s always touching and interrupting He wants me to turn the other way
------------------
So I go crazy for you, you’re crazy for him He’s crazy for me makes me wounder ‘cos
I don’t understand where I fit in.
------------------
It doesn’t matter what you say , it makes no difference anyway
It’s just the lovely things you do that keep me chasing after you so baby
-------------------
When I’m winking at you, you’re winking at him he’s winking at me, makes me nervous ‘cos
I don’t understand where I fit in
(Instrumental)
Why don’t you realise, he only like’s guys He doesn’t want to go out with you now,
I’ve got a headache and nothing to take, what are we gonna do.
So don’t keep thinking of him, he’s thinking of me
And I’m thinking of you, makes me wounder ‘cos I don’t understand, it’s so out of hand
Because when I’m thinking of you, you’re thinking of him, he’s thinking of me Oh baby,
I don’t understand where I fit in.

Reviews -Mark Demetrius (Rolling Stone Magazine
“ Barry doesn’t fit into any stylistic pigeonhole; He’s simply a superb singer-songwriter who can probably compose hook lines in his sleep. Like Loudon Wainwright III, he proves he’s no dork precisely by writing about dorkishness, loneliness and inadequacy. ‘Not Think Of You ‘ is a slow painful blues worthy of Billy Holiday, thats saying something” ... more
