Ewa Sonnet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen
I′ve got something to say
Yeah, yeah

I know you're the type of guy who likes what catch the eye
And when you came to me I bet you didn′t realize
I know the way you're used to things and the way you use your lines
If you think I'm gonna fall for that, don′t you waste my time

(If you wanna be, wanna be with me)
You better try a little harder
(I don′t even know your name, you don't even know my name)
Read my lips, you′ll hear me say

Listen, listen to me
I've got something to say
I′m much more than you see
Not just a pretty face
Listen, listen to me
I've got something for you
If you promise to listen, listen to me

Now, now don′t you get me wrong
I like to have my fun
If you try to take somebody home
Know I won't be the one

'Cause it′s never quite that easy
Now you know what′s going on
If you wanna try and please me
Just know you're doing this wrong

(If you wanna be, wanna be with me)
You better try a little harder
(I don′t even know your name, you don't even know my name)
Listen to these words and hear me say

Listen, listen to me
I′ve got something to say
I'm much more than you see
Not just a pretty face
Listen, listen to me
I′ve got something for you
If you promise to listen, listen to me

I'm the one you should listen to
Gonna give it straight to you
That's the way it′s gonna be
′Fore you can get lost in me
So now you know that I'm not the one
To sit around and fall for you
If you wanna choose then you′ll
Listen to these words and hear me say
(If you wanna be, wanna be with me)

Listen, listen to me (me)
I've got something to say (say)
I′m much more than you see
Not just a pretty face
Listen, listen to me (yeah)
I've got something for you
If you promise to listen, listen to me

Listen, listen to me
I′ve got something to say
I'm much more than you see
Not just a pretty face
Listen, listen to me

I've got something for you
If you promise to listen, listen to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Listen" by Ewa Sonnet is a confident and assertive message to a potential suitor who is trying to impress her. The lyrics suggest that the guy is attracted to the singer due to her appearance, but she wants him to recognize that there is much more to her than just her looks. She warns him not to waste her time with his usual pickup lines and tricks, and that if he wants to be with her, he needs to try harder and listen to what she has to say about herself. She is an individual with her own interests, preferences, and standards, and she won't be satisfied with anything less than genuine interest and respect.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the message of the song, as the singer repeats "Listen, listen to me, I've got something to say, Not just a pretty face... If you promise to listen, listen to me." The song conveys a strong message of empowerment and self-worth, encouraging listeners to recognize their own value and not settle for anything less than what they deserve. The upbeat pop melody and the singer's confident delivery make the song both catchy and inspiring.

Line by Line Meaning

Listen
Pay attention to what I am about to say

I’ve got something to say
I have a message that I want to communicate

I know you're the type of guy who likes what catch the eye
I understand that you are attracted to physical appearance

And when you came to me I bet you didn't realize
You probably did not expect this conversation to happen

I know the way you're used to things and the way you use your lines
I am familiar with your tactics and pick-up strategies

If you think I'm gonna fall for that, don't you waste my time
Don't even try to use those methods on me, they won't work

(If you wanna be, wanna be with me) You better try a little harder
If you really want to be with me, you need to put in more effort

(I don’t even know your name, you don't even know my name) Read my lips, you’ll hear me say
We don't even know each other's names, so listen carefully to what I am saying

Listen, listen to me
Again, pay attention to what I am communicating

I'm much more than you see
I have qualities beyond just physical appearance

Not just a pretty face
I am not solely defined by my looks

I’ve got something for you
I have a message or gift for you

If you promise to listen, listen to me
If you agree to pay attention to what I am saying

Now, now don’t you get me wrong
Don't misunderstand me here

I like to have my fun
I enjoy myself and have a good time

If you try to take somebody home
If you attempt to take me or someone else home with you

Know I won't be the one
I will not be the person going home with you

’Cause it's never quite that easy
It's never as simple as just picking someone up and taking them home

Now you know what's going on
I am telling you the truth about my intentions

If you wanna try and please me
If you want to make me happy
