You Don't Love Me
2-Face The Undaboss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were cute and all that, baby you set the trend
Yes you did, oh
The next thing I know we're down at the cinema
We're sitting there, you start kissing me
What's that about?
You're moving too fast, I don't understand you
No, I can't
The best I can do is tell you to talk to me
It's possible, eventual
Love will find a way (Love will find a way)
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Here's how I play, here's where you stand
Here's what to prove to get any further than where it's been
I'll make it clear, not gonna tell you twice
Take it slow, you keep pushing me
You're pushing me away (Pushing me away)
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Oooo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oooo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me, baby
Baby don't say you love me
Baby, baby
If you really want me, then give me some time (Give me some time)
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time (Won't you give me some time?)
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Baby, don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time (Won't you give me some time?)
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time...
In 2-Face The Undaboss's song "You Don't Love Me," the singer is warning his love interest not to say she loves him because she doesn't even know him yet. He explains how they met, but she's moving too fast, and he's not ready for all that yet. He wants her to give him some time and take it slow while they get to know each other.
The song seems to be a cautionary tale about giving in too quickly and rushing into a relationship. The singer is laying out what he needs from this relationship and how they can make it work. He's not ready to commit yet, but he's open to exploring their feelings for each other and seeing where it goes. The chorus emphasizes that she should give him some time before professing her love and expecting anything more serious than just dating.
Overall, "You Don't Love Me" is a plea for respect, understanding, and mutual patience in a budding relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
Got introduced to you by a friend
I met you through a mutual acquaintance
You were cute and all that, baby you set the trend
I found you attractive and admired your popularity
Yes you did, oh
Indeed, you did
The next thing I know we're down at the cinema
Soon enough, we were at the movies
We're sitting there, you start kissing me
We were seated, and then you initiated physical intimacy
What's that about?
I was perplexed by your sudden passion
You're moving too fast, I don't understand you
You're progressing our relationship too rapidly, and I'm bewildered
I'm not ready yet, baby I can't pretend
I'm not emotionally prepared, and I can't feign interest
No, I can't
Absolutely not
The best I can do is tell you to talk to me
I suggest we communicate to establish a mutual understanding
It's possible, eventual
Given time, it may happen
Love will find a way (Love will find a way)
Our love, if authentic, will inevitably blossom
Don't say you love me
Pretending to love me is futile
You don't even know me
You have no genuine connection with me
If you really want me
If you're serious about me
Then give me some time
Then, demonstrate patience
Don't go there baby
Don't get ahead of yourself
Not before I'm ready
Not until I'm emotionally prepared
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
Don't pretend to be head-over-heels for me
It's not like we're gonna get married
Our romantic involvement is not necessarily a long-term commitment
Give me, give me some time
Please, allow me to take things slowly
Here's how I play, here's where you stand
Here's my approach to dating, and here's your position in our relationship
Here's what to prove to get any further than where it's been
Here's what you must demonstrate to advance our romance
I'll make it clear, not gonna tell you twice
I'll communicate my boundaries distinctly and directly
Take it slow, you keep pushing me
Let's proceed cautiously, as you're rushing me
You're pushing me away (Pushing me away)
Your impatience is driving me from you
Baby don't say you love me
Declarations of love are premature
Baby, baby
My dear
Won't you give me some time?
Could you grant me more time, please?
If you really want me
Only if you genuinely desire me
Don't go there baby
Don't move too quickly
Not before I'm ready
Not until I'm prepared to commit
Give me, give me some time
Please, allow me to take things gradually
