No no no
Destiny's Child Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no"
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes"
You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no"
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes"
You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no"
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes"
You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no"
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes"

Boy, I know you want me, I can see it in your eyes
But you keep on frontin'
Won't you say what's on your mind?
'Cause each and every time you're near me, you give me signs
But when I ask you, "What's the deal?"
You hold it all inside
If you wanna be with me, you gotta keep it real
Tell me what's goin' on, tell me how you feel
'Cause, boy, I know you want me just as much as I want you
So come and get my love, it's all here for you

You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no" (no, no)
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes" (yes)
You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no" (oh)
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes" (tellin' me no)
You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no" (no, no, no)
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes" (yes, yes, yes)
You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no" (oh, yeah-yeah)
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes" (oh, yeah-yeah)

If you keep actin' this way, you're gonna lose my love
I ain't got no time to play, you better hurry up
'Cause every time I come around and cruise around your way
I see you on the corner, but you don't know what to say
And when I walk up to you, baby, you seem so shy
What's the problem, baby? Never had a girl like I?
I can see right through you, and you know you wanna be mine
So get your act together, 'cause you're runnin' out of time

You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no," (oh)
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes" (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no" (no)
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes"
(Don't you know, you tell me, "No, baby, no, baby, no, baby")
You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no"
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes" (yes, baby, yes, baby, yes, baby)
You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no," (no, baby, no, baby, no, baby)
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes" (yes, baby, yes, baby, yes, baby)
(Just say yes)

You won't regret, I must confess
I'm really feelin' you
Anything you've ever wanted before is right here for you, for you
Don't worry what they say
Just bring your love my way
'Cause your friends can't do what I can for you
I don't wanna hear you say

(No)
Baby, tell me (yes)
Tell me yes, don't tell me no, no (no)
(Yes)
You be sayin', "No" (don't tell me, "No," no)
When it's really, "Yes" (tell me what I wanna hear, yeah, yeah)
You be sayin', "No" (Y-E-S, not N-O)
When it's really, "Yes" (oh, ooh, oh)

You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no" (you make me say, "No, baby, no, baby, no, baby")
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes" (yes, baby, yes, baby, yes, baby)




You be sayin', "No, no, no, no, no," (no, baby, no, baby, no, baby)
When it's really, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes" (yes, baby, yes, baby, yes, baby)

Overall Meaning

The remix of the Destiny’s Child song “No No No” is a collaboration with Wyclef Jean and his group, The Refugee Camp. The remix features a different instrumental arrangement and a new rap verse by Wyclef. The lyrics of the song are about a woman who is interested in a man but is frustrated with his lack of communication about his feelings. She urges him to “keep it real” and express his true intentions. The chorus features the line “when it’s really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah” which suggests the man actually wants to be with her despite his reluctance to express it.


The song’s lyrics are relatable for many people who have experienced uncertainty in a romantic relationship. The woman is portrayed as confident and assertive while the man is struggling with his feelings. The remix adds a new layer of musicality with Wyclef’s rap verse and a more uptempo instrumental. The inclusion of The Refugee Camp on the remix helped introduce Destiny’s Child to a wider audience and helped establish them as one of the leading R&B groups of the late 90s.

DC4 have the 4 elements in their voices:

LeToya was like air, her voice gave the harmony in the group like a fresh blow of wind.

LaTavia was the fire, her low notes gave the group the soul and the structure. You can't hear her voice, but you feel the heat coming from the bottom.

Kelly voice's like water, comes clear and fresh like a fountain in a pacific forest but sometimes with such fierceness.

Beyoncé has all the full voices of earth and nature, like a bird singing in the middle of the enchanted forest. The air, the fire and the water are all around her while she flies singing.
