11.Don't Know How
Joss Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You caught my eye
And out of nowhere you appeared
By surprise and it's not like me but certainly, I
I heard myself calling for you

Could it be fate
I'm feeling butterflies
And I can't escape
And it's like a rush that's coming over me
The sight of you just takes me away

[Chorus:]
Boy you're so fine
And I want to tell ya so
I'm much too shy
Want to make you mine
But I don't know how

Got so much time
Your attitude, everything
You make me smile
Think I'm falling in deep for no reason why
I can't help myself yeah yeah

Friends think I'm wrong
For being head over heels
I should be strong
Should I stay and deal with it
Or should I just let go

[Bridge:]
Feeling crazy my heart beats racing now
I can't fight it
Got to make you mine
But I don't know how

Baby let me know what's up now
Ya got to show me some how, how you feel
Cause I can't take it no more
I really need to know what's good with you boy





[Bridge]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joss Stone's song Don't Know How describe the feeling of being head over heels in love with someone but not knowing how to express it properly. The singer is infatuated with the person she has just met, and she can't believe how taken she is with him. She describes how the sight of him takes her away, and she's feeling butterflies. Despite her shyness and the fact that it's not like her, she finds herself calling out for him.


The singer is torn between her feelings and her friends' advice, who believe that she's wrong for falling head over heels. She's unsure about whether to stay and deal with her emotions or to let go, but her heart beats faster when she's around him. The lyrics of the chorus are about the singer's attraction to the boy, whereas the bridge shows her frustration in not knowing how he feels about her.


The overall meaning behind the song could be that sometimes, love can be complicated, and it's hard to express one's feelings even when you're head over heels. It can be refreshing to be honest with oneself and the people around you, even if it's difficult.
