I Don't Like It
Jr. Johnny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well maybe you can just a little
I wanted you around but I finally found
I don't like I did before
I don't like I did before
I used to watch you when you made your rounds
Your love to me was like a riddle
It's not like it was before
I don't like I did before
Before the time you said you were mine
You had my poor head a reeling
But just finding you out
I'm not so devoted
Cause I'm getting over that feeling
You can't thrill me no more
Well maybe you can just a little
I wanted your kiss but your kiss I won't miss
Not like I did before
I don't like I did before
Before the time you said you were mine
You had my poor head a reeling
But just finding you out
I'm not so devoted
Cause I'm getting over that feeling
You can't thrill me no more
Well maybe you can just a little
I wanted your kiss but your kiss I won't miss
Not like I did before
I don't like I did before
The song "I Don't Like It" by Jr. Johnny is a poignant reflection on a troubling relationship. It's not hard to imagine the singer being at the end of their rope after putting in so much effort to make things work, only to feel unreciprocated. The lyrics suggest that despite the singer investing all their love and care in the relationship, they are constantly being let down and mistreated. They feel unloved and unappreciated by their partner, and it's taking its toll. The lyrics are introspective and convey a sense of hurt and frustration.
The lines "I'm tired of doin' all the givin' / I give my all and sit and yearn and get no lovin' in return" encapsulate the feeling of being drained and neglected in a relationship. It's relatable and resonates with anyone who has ever been in a one-sided relationship where they feel like they're always giving more than they're receiving. The lyrics also speak to the sense of uncertainty that comes with a volatile relationship when the singer asks, "Tell me where you think we're goin' cause I ain't got no way of knowin'." This line conveys a sense of feeling lost and unsure about the future of the relationship.
In conclusion, the song "I Don't Like It" lays bare the reality of a failing relationship. It's a heart-wrenching expression of feeling unloved, unappreciated, and at a loss as to what to do next. The lyrics are powerful and impactful, and anyone who has ever been in a complex relationship will be able to relate to them.
