Don't You Want Me
Alcazar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I picked you out, I shook you up
And turned you around, turned you into someone new.
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet.
Success has been so easy for you.
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now,
And I can put you back there too.
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it
When I hear that you won't see me.
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you
When you say that you don't need me.
It's much to late to find
When you think you've changed your mind.
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry.
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar,
That much is true.
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you.
The five years we have had have been such good times,
I still love you.
But now I think it's time I live my life on my own.
I guess it's just what I must do.
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it
When I hear that you won't see me.
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you
When you say that you don't need me.
It's much to late to find
When you think you've changed your mind.
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry.
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
This song is about a man who meets a waitress in a cocktail bar and transforms her life, but as time goes on, she starts to forget her roots and becomes too proud of her success. The man warns her that he is the reason for her success and reminds her that he can take it all away as well. He asks her if she still wants him, to which she replies that she'd rather be on her own. The song ends on a hopeful note as they both wish each other the best.
The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and heartache on the part of the singer, who feels that he has been taken for granted by the woman he helped to succeed. The line "Don't you want me?" is repeated throughout the song, highlighting the singer's fear of being forgotten and left behind. He acknowledges that he may have been too controlling in their relationship, but argues that it was for her own good.
The song also touches upon the theme of personal growth and the need to move on from a relationship in order to pursue one's own dreams. The woman acknowledges that she loves the man, but feels that it is time for her to live her life on her own terms. The chorus serves as a reminder of the intense feelings of affection and dependency that once existed between the two.

En el Nombre de Dios PADRE y del Espíritu Santo sanidad cae ahora como lluvia sobre los terrenales.
Dios PADRE y el Espíritu Santo nos ama, nos sana, nos salva para vivir eternamente en cuerpo y espíritu. PADRE mos multiplica los alimentos nos deja vivir gratuitamente en la tierra..
1 Solo Dios y Espíritu santo que se llama PADRE
1 Solo PADRE Celestial y terrenal
1 solo Salvador porque PADRE murió por nosotros
1 solo redentor porque PADRE nos atrajo a su resurrección y nos creó con su Santa Carne, Sangre y Espíritu Santo.
1 sola familia porque todos los terrenales somos hijas e hijos de Dios PADRE de carne de sangre y de Espíritu Por lo tanto somos hermanos /as.
EL que llevó la cruz es nuestro Dios Padre que murió en la cruz para salvarnos a cada uno de nosotros.
Es Dios Padre que resucitó de entre los muertos y estuvo 40 días más en la tierra, enseñando sus Santas Leyes para que entremos a su Reino aquí en la tierra dejó consumada su salvación, y que ya no va ha regresar porque dejó terminada su obra. Y el de cuerpo, mente y espíritu, limpio podrá ver a Dios Padre y sentir al Espíritu Santo. Pero nadie creyó,
El gobierno o Reino de Dios PADRE
Leyes: Amar y servir a Dios Padre y al Espíritu Santo con toda nuestra mente cuerpo y espíritu.
Amarse los unos a los otros como hermanos de carne de sangre y de espíritu.
Los 7 días a la semana Dios PADRE los santifico. En el Cielo si cumplen las Leyes del Reino de Dios Padre. Quien cumple las Leyes de Dios PADRE en la tierra?
La Santa Cena de la nueva alianza Comer la carne y sangre de Dios Padre, representado por el pan y el vino.por la crucifixión y por la resurrección de Dios PADRE: Dios Padre nos atrajo a su crucifixión, y nos atrajo en su resurrección y nos creó con su carne, sangre y Espíritu convirtiéndonos en sus hijas e hijos.
El Santo Juicio del Arrepentimiento de pecados para el perdón de pecados. 70 veces 7 al dia se debe perdonar al que se arrepiente verdaderamente.
La tierra es de Dios PADRE y el Espíritu Santo, y ÉL nos deja vivir gratuitamente.
El Padre Nuestro…. Vivir gratuitamente en la tierra.
Convertir nuestro cuerpo en santidad, porque es el templo de Dios PADRE y del Espíritu Santo.
Sanar toda enfermedad y toda dolencias,, resucitar a los que duermen en la muerte, creer, obedecer, y enseñar las Leyes de Dios Padre y del Espíritu Santo.
Gracias Dios Padre y Espíritu Santo por, cuidarnos, escucharnos, por salvarnos de todo mal, de espíritus de muerte, de enfermedades, de accidentes, de maldiciones de maldades, de todo disfraz de muerte.,
Te amamos a ti Dios PADRE y Espíritu Santo, porque eres nuestro único Dios, Padre, Madre, salvador, redentor, creador, legislador, Rey.
Profetas hasta Juan el bautista, este fue el último profeta en la tierra. Porque Dios Padre ya vino a la tierra a cumplir su promesa de salvación. */
