I Know
Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more no no more
And I don't wanna be hurt
Anymore anymore
And yet I loved so hard
Everything I done is a lark
So you can't love me right baby
You don't have to love me at all
No more no no more
And it must be someone else
Who's loving you more lovin' you more
Ain't no use in me cryin' now
You want be you are wouldn't be down
If you don't want me no more baby
Ain't no use in you hangin' around
I know you don't wont me no more
No more no no more
And it must be someone else
Who's loving you more lovin' you more
Ain't no use in me cryin' now
If it want's you are wouldn't be down
If you don't want me no more baby
Ain't no use in you hangin' around
I know I know I know
I know I know baby yes I know
I knnoooooww
The lyrics of Fats Domino's song "I Know" express the pain and sadness of a man who realizes that the woman he loves no longer loves him. He knows that she has moved on and is now with someone else who is loving her more. The man doesn't want to be hurt anymore and has come to accept that he can't force her to love him again. He is resigned to the fact that their relationship is over.
The language used in the lyrics is simple and straightforward, conveying the depth of the man's emotion without resorting to complex wordplay. The repetition of the lines "No more no no more" and "I know I know" add to the sense of despair and hopelessness that the man feels.
One could interpret the song as a lament for lost love and the consequences of unrequited affection. The man seems to be struggling to come to terms with the fact that no matter how much he loves her, the woman he desires has moved on. The lyrics are timeless and relatable, speaking to the universal experience of love and heartbreak.
Line by Line Meaning
Know you don't love me no more
I am aware that you no longer love me
No more no no more
That feeling is no longer present
And I don't wanna be hurt
I do not want to experience any further pain
Anymore anymore
From this point forward
And yet I loved so hard
Despite this, I loved with great intensity
Everything I done is a lark
All of my actions were done in jest
So you can't love me right baby
For some reason, you are unable to love me correctly
You don't have to love me at all
It is completely up to you if you choose to love me or not
You know I know you don't wont me no more
I understand that you do not desire me anymore
And it must be someone else
It is likely that someone else is the object of your affection now
Who's loving you more lovin' you more
And that person is showing you more love and attention
Ain't no use in me cryin' now
There is no point in me expressing my sadness now
You want be you are wouldn't be down
You would not be feeling down if you did not want to
If you don't want me no more baby
If you no longer want me, then
Ain't no use in you hangin' around
There is no point in you lingering around me
I know I know I know
I am aware, I understand
I know I know baby yes I know
I truly know
I knnoooooww
I am completely certain
