Say What You Want
Gil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it my eyes
Is it the way you make me feel
Is it how I caress your skin
I wanna know
Cause I'm feeling lost inside
Is there a way to let me in?

Now I know that you can make it
There's no way you can fake it

I wanna know
Just what you see in me

[chorus]
Say what you want
Say what you like
Say what you see behind my eyes
I wanna know
Cause I know what I see in you

For me it's your eyes
For me it's the way you make me smile
It's the way you caress my skin
Now I know that you can make it
And there's no way you can fake it

I wanna know
Just what you see in me

[chorus] x 2

The way you walk
The way you talk
The way you look my way
All I want from you is that you stay

[chorus] x 2





Say what you like
Say what you see behind my eyes

Overall Meaning

In Gil’s song “Say What You Want”, the singer is expressing his desire to understand what his partner sees in him. He seems unsure about himself and his place in their relationship, and as a result, he is searching for confidence and validation. The line “Is it my eyes, is it the way you make me feel, is it how I caress your skin, I wanna know cause I’m feeling lost inside, is there a way to let me in?” suggests that the singer is insecure about himself and looking to his partner for answers about what makes him desirable.


The chorus consists of the singer imploring his partner to express what they are thinking and feeling, “Say what you want, say what you like, say what you see behind my eyes, I wanna know cause I know what I see in you”. The singer’s uncertainty about himself is juxtaposed with the moments of certainty he has in regard to his attraction to his partner. The singer lists their physical attributes “The way you walk, the way you talk, the way you look my way” in an effort to express his admiration for his partner and convince them to stay with him.
