Don't You
A M 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...
The song "Don't You" by A M discusses the common situation of feeling rushed into a romantic relationship. The lyrics describe a scenario where the singer becomes involved with someone they just met, but the other person is moving too quickly for their comfort. The singer is not ready to commit and wants the other person to take things slow. As the chorus repeats, the singer implores the other person not to say they love them and to give them time to get to know each other.
The first verse describes how the singer met the other person through a friend and was immediately attracted to them. However, they quickly became uncomfortable as the other person started kissing them and advancing the relationship too quickly. The second verse warns the other person to slow down and take their time, emphasizing that the singer is not ready for a serious commitment. The chorus drives home the point that the other person needs to be patient and respect the singer's boundaries.
The repetition in the song's structure and lyrics adds to its power, driving home its central message: that love takes time, and rushing into things can be damaging.
