No Way
Humble Pie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know how much I love you
You know it's all right
You know how I like it
All night, it's out of sight
Hey, you look so cool, girl
But I know your school, girl
I ain't gonna get fooled again
Cause I've been there before
And I don't want no more
Hold it for another friend
Well, you had the power
Now you're a dead flower
You know, well, how does it feel
Well, I'm just waiting here
I said, my time is right
Now the love seems to light

You know how much I love you
You know it's all right
You know how I like it
All night, it's out of sight
I've got me a new girl
And when I got through with you, the real thing
It was just a mess
I treated you real nice, girl
Now you in turn pay the price, girl
And I always did my best
I tried and tried
I tried to keep you satisfied
But you just totally put me off
So now here's the situation
I'm gonna take me a permanent vacation,
I'll go, now I'll go, now see I'm going for good
And you always said, Steve, you know you should
And I say, I would if I could

Now you tell me
You know how much I love you
You know it's all right
You know how I like it
All night, it's out of sight
You know how much I love you
You know it's all right
You know how I like it




All night, it's out of sight
No way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Humble Pie's song "No Way" depict the ending of a tumultuous romantic relationship between two individuals. The singer, presumably a man named Steve, addresses the woman he was involved with, saying that he loves her but ultimately won’t be fooled again by her. He acknowledges that he has been through this tumultuous cycle before and doesn't want to go through it again, so he decides to move on. He expresses regret that the relationship didn't work out and that he had to let go of someone he loved, but he ultimately realizes that it’s time to part ways.


The mention of a “new girl” could suggest that Steve has already moved on to someone else, but the emotional weight of the song suggests that there is more to the story than just a simple breakup. The use of metaphorical language, such as comparing the woman to a “dead flower,” gives the impression that the relationship is not only failing but has already withered and died.


Overall, "No Way" is a song about the end of a love affair that has soured beyond the point of repair. The singer recognizes that this cycle will continue if they stay together, so he decides to move on. The lyrics express regret, but also a certain sense of liberation and closure.
