I Won't Say
Disney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already
Won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history--been there done that

Who'd ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of

No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
You swoon, you sigh, why deny it, uh-oh
It's too cliche
I won't say I'm in love

I thought my heart had learned it's lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
Oh

You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, were not buying
Hon, we saw you hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad

No chance, no way,
I won't say it, no, no
Give up, give in
Check the grin you're in love
This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love

You're doin' flips, read our lips:
You're in love
You're way off base, I won't say it
Get off my case, I won't say it
Girl, don't be proud
It's ok you're in love




Oh
At least out loud, I won't say I'm in love

Overall Meaning

The song "I Won't Say" is a ballad from the 1997 Disney film "Hercules." The song is performed by the singer, Megara, who is a character who values her independence and is hesitant to express her feelings for Hercules. The lyrics of the song deal with the themes of denial and the fear of vulnerability. Megara admits to herself that she is in love with Hercules but struggles to tell him because she does not want to appear weak or needy.


In the first stanza of the song, Megara acknowledges that she has made bad decisions in the past, particularly when it comes to men. She then declares that no man is worth the trouble, implying that she is not interested in falling in love again. The second stanza is directed at Megara, where the other female characters in the movie can see that she is in love with Hercules, despite her attempts to hide her feelings. The main chorus of the song repeats Megara's determination not to say that she loves Hercules, which she believes is too cliche. The final stanza of the song reveals Megara's inner conflict; while her heart wants to express her love for Hercules, she is afraid of being vulnerable.
