Don't Say No
Hansi Dujmic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my dreams it is you
Who is mine, who is true
In my dreams I am right
To be with you every night

And I'll try to hold your hand
Then we'll touch wonderland
Babe, maybe, then you'll see

That you've been made for me

You don't say yes, you don't say no,
You drive me crazy, pretty baby, don't you know
You don't say yes, you don't say no,
Try to find a way to go!
Let us live for our loving,
Please say yes, but don't say no!

Your eyes are bright like the sun,
You are all sweet things rolled in one.
I loved you from the very, very start,
So please don't break my heart

You don't say yes, you don't say no,
You drive me crazy, pretty baby, don't you know
You don't say yes, you don't say no,
Try to find a way to go!
Let us live for our loving,
Please say yes, but don't say no!

You don't say yes, you don't say no,
You drive me crazy, pretty baby, don't you know
You don't say yes, you don't say no,
Try to find a way to go!
Let us live for our loving,
Please say yes, but don't say no!

Ende Solo

2 x Refrain

You don't say yes, you don't say no,
You drive me crazy, pretty baby, don't you know
You don't say yes, you don't say no,
Try to find a way to go!

Let us live for our loving,
Please say yes, but don't say no!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hansi Dujmic's song "Don't say no" expresses a desire for a reciprocated love. In the singer's dreams, the person they love is theirs, and they long for the person to say "yes" to them. The verses allude to a deep connection, the feeling of being made for each other, and the singer's admiration for the person's beauty.

The repeated "You don't say yes, you don't say no" in the chorus reveals the agony of uncertainty that the singer is experiencing. They are in a vulnerable position, so much so that they are begging for an answer, hoping and praying for a "yes." However, the person's indecisiveness is causing them stress, hence the plea to try to find a way together.

Overall, the song is an emotional representation of the common human experience of wanting love and yearning for it with all our being. The lyrics are optimistic in their hope for love, but also resigned to the reality that not everyone gets what they want.

In my dreams it is you
The person I dream of is you

Who is mine, who is true
The one who belongs to me and is honest

In my dreams I am right
I feel justified in my dreams

To be with you every night
To spend every night with you

And I'll try to hold your hand
I will attempt to hold your hand

Then we'll touch wonderland
We will experience a magical time

Babe, maybe, then you'll see
Maybe after that, you'll understand

That you've been made for me
You were created for me

You don't say yes, you don't say no,
You are not giving me an answer,

You drive me crazy, pretty baby, don't you know
This is driving me insane, pretty baby, don't you realize?

Try to find a way to go!
Please try to make a decision!
