Dont Look Now
Far East Movement feat. Keri Hilson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't look now.
I saw you dancing on that speaker box, girl what's your name?
I see you texting on that B.B.M., can we exchange?
I got two glasses at my table, can I show you the way?
Tonight's the night to let it go, go, girl it's okay.
Yeah, I'm not looking for no strings, you're not looking for a ring
If you're ready for this fling, then meet me in the back.
I never knew it'd be like this, such an unexpected twist

Started off with just a kiss, I don't know how to act.

Dear heart, I know I said I'd take it slow
I know I swore on everything I own
But I can't resist, how's just one kiss?
But don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone.
Don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't look now
I can't resist, how's just one kiss?
Don't look now.

My heart is pumping like that bass before I pick you up
The way we stole each others hearts we playing Stick em up
I take a shot of Ciroc to get me in the zone now
She took a step out the door, from head to toe she's all 'wow'
I'm not looking for no strings, you're not looking for a ring.
If you're ready for this fling, then meet me in the back.
I never knew it'd be like this, such an unexpected twist
Started off with just a kiss, I don't know how to act.

Hey, uh, I know I promised you I'd take it slow
I know I swore on everything I own
But I can't resist, how's just one kiss?
But don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone.
Don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't look now
I can't resist, how's just one kiss?
Don't look now.

Somethin' 'bout this girl
She shakin' up my world
She got me doin' things I never did before.
Damn, there's somethin' 'bout this girl
She shakin' up my world
She got me out my zone, I'm losin' all control.

Somethin' 'bout this girl
She shakin' up my world
She got me doin' things I never did before.
Damn, there's somethin' 'bout this girl
She shakin' up my world
She got me out my zone, I'm losin' all control.

Hey, uh, I know I promised you I'd take it slow
I know I swore on everything I own
But I can't resist, how's just one kiss?
But don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone.
Don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't look now
You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't look now

You've got me going, I'm going, I'm gone
Don't look now.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Far East Movement's Don't Look Now speak to the experience of meeting someone at a party or club and feeling an instant attraction. The verses describe the singer observing the person they are interested in, noticing what they are doing and trying to make a connection by offering to buy them a drink or exchange numbers. The chorus is a confession of the singer's inability to resist the person's charm, despite their earlier promise to take things slow. The repetition of the line "don't look now" adds a sense of urgency and danger to the situation, as if the attraction is happening too fast and is potentially reckless.

The lyrics paint a picture of two people caught up in a moment of passion, willing to throw caution to the wind for a chance at something exciting and new. However, the use of the phrase "unexpected twist" in the second verse hints at some uncertainty about where things will go from here, and perhaps some anxiety about getting too attached too quickly. Overall, the song captures the thrill and danger of giving into desire and letting go of inhibitions.
