Don't You Want Me
Bioreactor 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?
The lyrics of Bioreactor's song Don't You Want Me is a conversation between two lovers who had once been in a relationship. The singer is reminiscing about how he had met the woman when she was a waitress in a cocktail bar, how he had changed her life and turned her into someone new. He mentions how she now has the world at her feet, and success has come easy for her, but he reminds her that she owes it to him for putting her where she is now, and he can put her back there too.
The woman responds that she had always wanted more from life, and even when she was a waitress, she knew that she would find a better place either with or without him. She tells him that the five years they spent together were good, and she still loves him, but it's time for her to live her life on her own. The song ends with the man pleading with her not to leave him and asking her if she still wants him.
The lyrics of the song portray a classic situation where one partner holds the power in the relationship, and the other partner is trying to break free. It is a story of a successful woman who owes her success to her lover, but now she wants to break free from the hold of that lover and live her life on her own terms.
