Don't Ask My Neighbor
Jade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're wondering if I care about ya
Is there's some cause that I should doubt ya
Oh I can see boy that you don't know me very well
You're so unsure

And you run here and there to ask my feelings
Friends only guess, they can't really say
Don't ask my neighbors
Don't ask the friends I hang around
Don't be afraid to come to me
Don't ask my neighbors, come to me
Don't be afraid of what ya see
You'll find I love you, come to me
Don't be afraid

You ask all my friends if I'm the same girl
You don't understand, you think I'm changing

Don't ask my neighbors
Don't ask the friends I hang around
Don't be afraid to come to me
Don't ask my neighbors, come to me
Don't be afraid of what ya see
You'll find I love you, come to me
Don't be afraid

Don't ask my neighbors, come to me
Don't be afraid of what ya see
You'll find I love you, come to me
Don't be afraid

Don't ask my neighbors, come to me
Don't be afraid what ya see




You'll find I love you, come to me
Don't be afraid

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song appear to be an assurance by the singer (Jade) to her lover who is uncertain about her feelings towards him. He is confused and unsure about her and is seeking answers from her friends and neighbors. However, Jade is asking him to come directly to her and to not be afraid to confront her directly about his feelings. She reassures him that he doesn't really know her, and that her friends can only guess at her thoughts and feelings. She implores him to trust her and come to her directly instead of asking around.


Furthermore, Jade is also expressing her annoyance at her lover for allowing doubts to creep into his mind. He is trying to figure out if she has changed without understanding that he has not taken the time to truly understand her. She is essentially telling him not to listen to gossip and rumors about her, but to approach her directly and find out for himself whether she loves him. The chorus conveys the idea that the lover should not worry about others' opinions and judgments and should come to Jade directly to get a clearer understanding of the situation.


This song is ultimately about communication, trust, and the importance of approaching one another directly in a relationship. It highlights how misunderstandings and anxieties can be resolved through open communication and discussion between partners.
