Don't You
Countdown Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I met you
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 down too
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 too late to find
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 too late to find
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
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?
The song "Don't You" by Countdown Singers tells the story of a relationship between two individuals, one of whom starts off as a waitress in a cocktail bar. The singer claims to have played a pivotal role in transforming the waitress, turning her into a new person. As time passes, the waitress achieves great success, but the singer reminds her that it was their influence that helped her reach her current position. The singer hints that they have the power to bring her back down if needed. However, the waitress asserts her independence and expresses her desire to live her life on her own terms, with or without the singer. She implies that they had good times together, but it is now time for her to move on.
The lyrics explore themes of power dynamics, control, and the evolution of relationships over time. It highlights the singer's feelings of entitlement, as they believe they deserve credit for the waitress's success. The waitress, on the other hand, asserts her agency and rejects the idea that she owes anything to the singer. The song captures the tension and push-and-pull dynamics often present in relationships, where one person may feel a sense of ownership or power over the other.
Overall, "Don't You" delves into the complexities of relationships, personal growth, and the importance of asserting one's independence and autonomy.

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
During that time, I served as a server in an establishment that served mixed drinks
That much is true
That statement is undeniably accurate
But even then, I knew I'd find a much better place
Yet, even during that period, I possessed the certainty that I would discover a substantially superior setting
Either with or without you
This outcome could occur with or without your presence
The five years we have had have been such good times
The last five years that we have shared have been exceptionally delightful moments
I still love you
My affection for you remains unwavering
But now, I think it's time I live my life on my own
However, at this juncture, I believe it is necessary for me to live independently
I guess it's just what I must do
I suppose this is the course of action I must undertake
