David Guetta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Choose you wanna make me choose
You got to show me something now
Why I should be with you!

You wanna make me choose
You wanna make me choose
You wanna make me choose
You wanna make me choose

Not easily impressed NO!
Not settling for less NO!
You want me to say yes OH WELL!
You better bring your best NO!

Help me make up me mind AH!
Prove that you're worth my time
Give me a reason why it should be
With you tonight, baby.

Make me believe it's all you
No matter what they all do
Don't want to play no games
I won't tease you and it won't stall you
But don't you think it's all you?
If you want sex than it's all you!
And NO I don't want your number
And NO I don't want to call you

You want to make me choose
You got to show me something now
Why I should be with you!
You wanna make me choose
You wanna make me choose
You wanna make me choose
You wanna make me choose

Make me believe it's all you
No matter what they all do
Don't want to play no games
I won't tease you and it won't stall you
But don't you think it's all you?
If you want sex than it's all you!
And no I don't want your number
And no I don't want to call you

Choose you wanna make me choose
You got to show me something now
Why I should be with you!

You wanna make me choose
You wanna make me choose

You wanna make me choose
You wanna make me choose

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Choose" by David Guetta, Kelly Rowland, and Ne-Yo express the desire of the singer to be convinced by the person who is interested in them to choose them above anyone else. The first line of the chorus "Choose you wanna make me choose" is a plea to the other person to give the singer a reason to choose them. The singer is not easily impressed and won't settle for less, so they want the other person to prove they are worth their time. The line "But don't you think it's all you? If you want sex than it's all you!" on face value can be seen as the singer standing up for themselves and saying they aren't interested in just a physical relationship but rather something that is more than that. Overall, it's a song about wanting something true and meaningful with someone.
