Eamon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa oh oh
Ooh hooh
No No No

See I don't, know why, I liked you so much
I gave you all, of my trust
I told you, I loved you, now that's all down the drain
Ya put me through pain, I want to let you know how I feel

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Fuck what I said it don't mean shit now
Fuck the presents might as well throw em out
Fuck all those kisses, it didn't mean jack
Fuck you, you hoe, I don't want you back

You thought, you could
Keep this shit from me, yeah
Ya burnt bitch, I heard the story
Ya played me, ya even gave him head
Now ya askin' for me back
Ya just another act, look elsewhere
Cause ya done with me

[Chorus:Repeat x 2]

Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah

Ya questioned, did I care
You could ask anyone, I even said
Ya were my great one
Now its, over, but I do admit I'm sad.
It hurts real bad, I can't sweat that, 'cause I loved a hoe

[Chorus]

Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Uh huh yeah





[Until the end]

Overall Meaning

The song “I Don’t Want You Back” by Eamon is a straightforward, expletive-filled breakup song about a relationship that has gone wrong. The first verse sees the singer reflecting upon his feelings towards his past lover, questioning why he had given her his trust and love. The chorus, which is repeated twice, expresses his anger towards her, stating that everything they had said to each other and shared - including gifts, kisses, and affection - no longer means anything to him, and he does not want her back in his life.


The second verse is where the singer lashes out at his ex-girlfriend, having heard she was unfaithful to him and slept with another man. He describes how she played him, even gave the other guy head, and is now coming back to him wanting to reconcile. The bridge sees him admit to being sad that their relationship ended, but he can't dwell on that because he loved a hoe. Respectfully, the lyrics are honest, blunt, and brutally truthful. It talks about going through heartbreak and betrayal and shows how a person can feel a deep pain that they want to express.
