Don't Say
Deep Dive Corp. Feat. M. Adamson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were cute and all that, baby you set the trend
Yes you did, oh
The next thing I know we're down at the cinema
We're sitting there, you start kissing me
What's that about?
You're moving too fast, I don't understand you
No, I can't
The best I can do is tell you to talk to me
It's possible, eventual
Love will find a way (Love will find a way)
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Here's how I play, here's where you stand
Here's what to prove to get any further than where it's been
I'll make it clear, not gonna tell you twice
Take it slow, you keep pushing me
You're pushing me away (Pushing me away)
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Oooo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oooo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me, baby
Baby don't say you love me
Baby, baby
If you really want me, then give me some time (Give me some time)
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time (Won't you give me some time?)
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Baby, don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time (Won't you give me some time?)
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time...
The lyrics of "Don't Say" by Deep Dive Corp. feat. M. Adamson depict a situation in which the singer is being pursued by someone who claims to love them, but the singer feels overwhelmed and not ready for such declarations of love. The song explores themes of taking things slowly in a relationship and not rushing into deep emotions before both parties are comfortable and ready.
In the first verse, the singer explains that they were introduced to this person by a friend and initially found them attractive and trendy. However, things escalated quickly when they went to the cinema together and the person started kissing the singer, leaving them confused about the sudden intensity of the situation.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's lack of readiness for love. They ask the person not to say they love them because they barely know each other. If the person genuinely wants to be with the singer, they should give them time to feel comfortable and develop a deeper connection. The cautionary tone in the chorus highlights the importance of taking things slow and not jumping ahead in an emotional relationship.
The second verse involves the singer explaining their perspective more assertively. They outline their boundaries and make it clear that the person needs to prove themselves and show patience to progress further in the relationship. The lines "I'll make it clear, not gonna tell you twice, take it slow, you keep pushing me" illustrate the singer's firm stance on the matter.
Throughout the song, the repetition of the refrain "don't say you love me, you don't even know me" reinforces the idea that true love takes time to develop and cannot be rushed. It conveys a sense of caution, urging the other person to respect the singer's boundaries and not assume that they are ready for intense emotions.
In conclusion, "Don't Say" is a song about a person asserting their need for time and space in a budding relationship. It highlights the importance of not rushing into love without truly understanding and getting to know one another. The lyrics convey a message of taking things slow and respecting each other's readiness for emotional commitment.

As we sat there, you initiated a kiss
