I Don't Want You No More
Avery Brady Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want to tell you that you can stay
I don't want, I don't want
I don't want you no more
Hey, you've been ringing, all night long
Want to tell you that you do me wrong
Lord, I don't know, why the messin' around
Well, I look, down that line
Couldn't see someone like my baby cryin'
I don't know, I don't know
What's goin' down
Yay, rovin' along, I'll cross the street
Bring back something, you and me
You and me, you and me
Don't want you no more
Want you no more
Well, the woman, that I love
Front tooth crowned, crowned with gold
I don't know, I don't know
What the girl don't know
The lyrics to Avery Brady's song "I Don't Want You No More" are about a man who wants his significant other to leave him alone. He expresses that he doesn't want this person in his life anymore by repeatedly stating "I don't want you no more". The first verse starts with the man acknowledging that his partner has left him, but he doesn't want them to come back. In the second verse, the man confronts his partner for calling him all night and states that they have done him wrong. He then admits that he doesn't understand why they continue to mess around with him. In the third verse, the man looks to the future and hopes that he will come across something new, leaving his past partner behind.
The repetition of the phrase "I don't want you no more" throughout the song conveys the man's frustration and desire to cut ties with his partner. The line "rovin' along, I'll cross the street" suggests that the man is determined to move on and find someone else. The description of his previous partner's gold crown tooth could be interpreted as a symbol of her superficiality and lack of emotional depth.

Heard on repeat throughout 1983 (on a Mississippi Blues Roots album) as a teenager- loved it and still do.

Same about me, I heard that 30 years ago in university. That is best blues ever, but I can' find his more music in the internet, yet.
