U Don't Love Me
A.B. Quintanilla & los Kumbia Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl,
I can't believe you tried to play me for a fool
I almost didn't see this one coming
You don't love me

Chorus:
Girl, don't tell me no more lies
Pretending that you're satisfied
Baby, I know your love's not true
Quit tryin' to play me for a fool
Girl, you know that you are wrong
You're here one minute and the next you're gone
I'm not blind, baby
I can see
So why don't you admit
You don't love me

You called me on the phone
Sayin' you'll be late comin' home
You say your boss is making you work late
But I don't believe it
'Cause when I called your office
So that I could speak to you
Ya know what they told me?
They told me that you quit last week

And how can you explain
That when we make love
You're callin' out somebody else's name
And when we kiss
Your eyes are open wide
And they can't hide what you feel inside, baby

Chorus
I saw you on the street
At the place we were supposed to meet
But you were with another man
I couldn't believe it
So I asked your friends
Who the hell was he?
Ya know what they told me?
There was a guy that you met last week

And now I can explain
Why when we make love
You're callin' out somebody else's name
And when we kiss
Your eyes are open wide
And they can't hide what you feel inside, baby

Chorus
You play with my heart
And try to play me for a fool, yeah
And like the saying goes
"What goes around comes around"
And one day
You'll know exactly how it feels
How it feels





Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A.B. Quintanilla & los Kumbia Kings's song "You Don't Love Me" speak about a lover who is being deceived by his significant other. The song starts with the disbelief of the lover that the person he loved tried to play him for a fool. He realizes that the love he was being given was not genuine, and the lover was only pretending to be satisfied. The chorus conveys the lover's frustration of being lied to and played for a fool. He asks his lover to admit that the love is not true and wrong.


The lover's suspicion grows stronger as he finds inconsistencies in his lover's words and actions. The lover receives a call from his lover explaining that she will be late coming home, but when he calls her office, he finds out that she quit a week ago. During their lovemaking, he realizes that his lover calls out another person's name and looks into his eyes, hiding nothing about what she feels inside. The lyrics conclude with the lover's desperation as he sees his lover with another man, and he later finds out that she met him a week ago. The song's underlying message is about the betrayal of trust, and the feeling of being constantly lied to by a person you love.


Line by Line Meaning

Girl, I can't believe you tried to play me for a fool
I'm shocked that you thought you could deceive me


I almost didn't see this one coming
Your plan almost worked, but I caught on


You don't love me
It's clear that you don't have genuine, romantic feelings for me


Girl, don't tell me no more lies
Stop feeding me false information


Pretending that you're satisfied
Acting as if you're content and happy with our situation


Baby, I know your love's not true
I'm aware that your affection for me is insincere


Quit tryin' to play me for a fool
Stop attempting to trick or deceive me


Girl, you know that you are wrong
You're fully aware that your actions are inappropriate


You're here one minute and the next you're gone
Your presence in my life is inconsistent and unreliable


I'm not blind, baby
I'm not ignorant or unaware of what's really going on


I can see
I'm able to perceive the truth and reality of the situation


So why don't you admit
Why not confess or acknowledge your true feelings and actions?


You don't love me
It's become obvious that you don't have genuine, romantic feelings for me


You called me on the phone
You contacted me through the telephone


Sayin' you'll be late comin' home
Informing me that you'll be returning to our shared dwelling later than expected


You say your boss is making you work late
You claim that your superior at work is requiring overtime from you


But I don't believe it
I don't trust or accept your explanation


Cause when I called your office
When I reached out to your employer


So that I could speak to you
In order to communicate with you


Ya know what they told me?
Do you know what response they gave me?


They told me that you quit last week
I was informed that you resigned from your job a week prior


And how can you explain
What justification do you have for


That when we make love
When we engage in sexual intimacy


You're callin' out somebody else's name
You're addressing someone by a name that's not mine


And when we kiss
During moments of physical affection


Your eyes are open wide
Your eyelids aren't shut and are fully expanded


And they can't hide what you feel inside, baby
Your eyes reveal that you're experiencing emotion that isn't towards me


I saw you on the street
I spotted you while out in public


At the place we were supposed to meet
At the location that we had designated to rendezvous


But you were with another man
But you were in the company of a different male


I couldn't believe it
I was unable to accept or comprehend the situation


So I asked your friends
I inquired with your acquaintances


Who the hell was he?
Who is the unknown male?


Ya know what they told me?
Guess what response I received?


There was a guy that you met last week
You recently encountered a male acquaintance


You play with my heart
You're manipulating and toying with my emotions


And try to play me for a fool, yeah
Attempting to deceive me, believing that I won't see through your scheme


And like the saying goes
As the proverb states


"What goes around comes around"
The outcome of one's actions will eventually come back to them


And one day
At some point in the future


You'll know exactly how it feels
You'll experience the exact same emotions and outcomes


How it feels
The affliction and torment that resulted from your unfaithfulness

@nbuehster

My thought about what his girl was doing.

Verses:

You called me on the phone
Saying you'll be late coming home
You said your boss is making you work late
But I don't believe it
Cause when I called your office
So that I could speak with you
You know what they told me
They told me that you quit last week

I saw you on the street
At the place we were supposed to meet
But you were with another man
I couldn't believe it
So I asked your friends
Who the hell was he(who was he)
You know what they told me
It was the guy that you met last week

My thoughts:

When she told him her boss was making her work late, she meant she was having an affair with her boss. And her boss was the other man he saw.
