I keep looking for a place to fit Where I can speak my mind I've been trying hard to find the people That I won't leave behind They say I got brains But they ain't doing me no good I wish they could Each time things start to happen again I think I got something good goin' for myself But what goes wrong Sometimes I feel very sad Sometimes I feel very sad (Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into) Sometimes I feel very sad (Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into) I guess I just wasn't made for these times Every time I get the inspiration To go change things around No one wants to help me look for places Where new things might be found Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out What's it all about Each time things start to happen again I think I got something good goin' for myself But what goes wrong Sometimes I feel very sad Sometimes I feel very sad (Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into) Sometimes I feel very sad (Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into) I guess I just wasn't made for these times I guess I just wasn't made for these times I guess I just wasn't made for these times I guess I just wasn't made for these times I guess I just wasn't made for these times

Foi o primeiro uso de um electro‑theremin em música popular, graças ao inventor Paul Tanner, marcando também a primeira vez que sons similares ao theremin apareceram em um disco de rock.
A faixa contou com a participação de 14 músicos de estúdio, incluindo percussão, baixo, guitarras, clarinetes, piccolo, harpsichord, piano “tack” e harmonica de baixo, além das seis vozes dos Beach Boys.
O coro apresenta backing vocal em espanhol, “Oh, ¿cuándo seré? Un día seré”, trazendo um elemento multicultural à composição.
Em 1995 o título “I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times” foi reutilizado para o documentário de Don Was sobre Brian Wilson, e também para o álbum‑trilha sonora da obra.
Em 1996, para divulgar *The Pet Sounds Sessions*, a primeira mixagem estéreo verdadeira da canção foi lançada como single pelo selo Sub Pop, destacando a importância histórica da gravação.
