Say That You Care
Junior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting every single day
But you don't know you don't know
All the times I stayed away baby
You don't know you don't know
There's a little piece of me inside you
But you don't know you don't know
Every time I see you I'm excited
But you don't know you don't know
Falling down, can't stay i've been waiting
But you don't know, you don't know
Your heart i read the phases of the moon
You lied and said you're sure you're mine
And we made love and now we're both alone

But you say that I am the dirty one
I am the dirty one i am the dirty one
Yeah yeah i am the dirty one
I am the dirty one i am the dirty one
Mmm

There's a million things I never started
But you don't know you don't know
Once I had to ask you where you heart is
Said you don't know you don't know
If you're the one I want i gotta fight it
Said you don't know you don't know
And it's I after I after I
After I after I after I falling in bed now
Understand i've been waiting
But you don't know you don't know

But you say that I am the dirty one
I am the dirty one i am the dirty one
Yeah don't you know that I am the dirty one
I am the dirty one i am the dirty one
Yeah don't you know that I am the dirty one
I am the dirty one i am the dirty one
Mmm don't you know you know that
I am the dirty one i am the dirty one




I am the dirty one yeah
(cough)

Line by Line Meaning

I've been waiting every single day
I have been eagerly anticipating each day


But you don't know you don't know
However, you are unaware of this fact


All the times I stayed away baby
I have intentionally kept my distance, my love


There's a little piece of me inside you
A part of me is deeply connected to you


But you don't know you don't know
Yet, you remain oblivious to this truth


Every time I see you I'm excited
Each encounter with you fills me with excitement


But you don't know you don't know
Sadly, you remain unaware of my feelings


Falling down, can't stay I've been waiting
I am falling apart as I continue to wait


But you don't know, you don't know
However, you still have no clue


Your heart I read the phases of the moon
I can sense the fluctuations in your emotions


You lied and said you're sure you're mine
You deceived me by claiming your loyalty


And we made love and now we're both alone
Now, after being intimate, we find ourselves lonely


But you say that I am the dirty one
Yet, you accuse me of being immoral


I am the dirty one, I am the dirty one
You believe I am the one with impure intentions


There's a million things I never started
There are countless things I have yet to initiate


But you don't know you don't know
Unfortunately, you are unaware of them


Once I had to ask you where your heart is
There was a time when I needed to inquire about your feelings


Said you don't know you don't know
Yet, you provided no answer or understanding


If you're the one I want I gotta fight it
If you are the person I desire, I must overcome challenges


Said you don't know you don't know
Once again, you demonstrate a lack of comprehension


And it's I after I after I
Myself, continuously focusing on my own well-being


After I after I after I falling in bed now
After repeatedly engaging in physical intimacy


Understand I've been waiting
Please comprehend that I have been patiently waiting


But you don't know you don't know
However, you remain oblivious to my efforts


Yeah don't you know that I am the dirty one
Do you not realize that you label me as impure


I am the dirty one, I am the dirty one
I am continuously accused of having impure intentions


Mmm don't you know you know that
Oh, do you not understand the reality


I am the dirty one, I am the dirty one
I carry a stigma of impurity that you assign to me


I am the dirty one yeah
Yes, indeed, I am the one considered unclean


(cough)
(sound of coughing, interrupts the narrative)
