Don't Say Nothin'
J.M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were cute and all that, baby you set the trend
Yes you did, oh
The next thing I know we're down at the cinema
We're sitting there, you start kissing me
What's that about?
You're moving too fast, I don't understand you
No, I can't
The best I can do is tell you to talk to me
It's possible, eventual
Love will find a way (Love will find a way)
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Here's how I play, here's where you stand
Here's what to prove to get any further than where it's been
I'll make it clear, not gonna tell you twice
Take it slow, you keep pushing me
You're pushing me away (Pushing me away)
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Oooo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oooo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me, baby
Baby don't say you love me
Baby, baby
If you really want me, then give me some time (Give me some time)
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time (Won't you give me some time?)
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Baby, don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time (Won't you give me some time?)
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time...
The song "Don't Say Nothin'" by J.M talks about the push and pull of a new relationship with a partner who is moving too fast for the singer's comfort. The song opens with the singer being introduced to someone new and feeling attracted to them, but things move quickly and the other person confesses their love. The singer is not ready for that level of commitment and asks for time to get to know each other better first. They assert their need for boundaries and communication, urging their lover to slow down and understand what the singer feels comfortable with.
The chorus repeats the refrain of "don't say you love me" to emphasize the need for building a relationship slowly instead of rushing into declarations of love. The bridge further reiterates that the singer wants to take things at their own pace and is willing to communicate clearly to ensure that both partners are on the same page.
Overall, the song speaks to the importance of communication, respect, and pacing in a new relationship, encouraging partners to take the time to truly get to know each other without rushing or making assumptions about their feelings.

"Favor and disfavor have been called equal worries,
SUCCESS and failure have been called equal ailments.
How can favor and disfavor be called equal worries?
Because winning favor burdens a man
With the fear of losing it.
How can SUCCESS and failure be called equal ailments?
Because a man thinks of the personal body as self.
When he no longer thinks of the personal body as self
Neither failure nor SUCCESS can ail him.
One who knows his lot to be the lot of all other men
Is a safe man to guide them,
One who recognizes all men as members of his own body
Is a sound man to guard them." ~ TAO 13
