You Don't Want My Love
K.I.C. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to love you no more
Please step away as I lock the door
Don't try to defend it, this love has ended
and I Don't want to love you no more

Out in the streets I have a nickle and dime
been turned away 'most a thousand times
You were illegal, saluting an eagle
And out in the streets I had nickles and dimes

When you catch up to the lies you have told
I'll be a stranger forgotten and old
When I have stumbled the keywords you fumbled
When you catch up to the lies you have told

There could not be a possible you
Out on the moutain seeing it through
I have got the pain now, seasons of rain how
there could not be a possible you

And I don't want to love you no more
Please step away as I lock the door




Don't try to defend it, this love has ended
and I Don't want to love you no more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to K.I.C.'s "You Don't Want My Love" appear to be about a relationship that has come to an end. The singer is expressing that they no longer want to love the other person and is asking them to step away as they lock the door, indicating that it's over. The line "Don't try to defend it, this love has ended" suggests that the other person may be trying to salvage the relationship, but the singer is determined to let it go.


The next verse is a little more cryptic, with the singer saying they've been turned away on the streets "most a thousand times." It's not clear what they're referring to, but the line "You were illegal, saluting an eagle" suggests that the other person may have been involved in something shady or potentially dangerous. The line "And out in the streets I had nickles and dimes" indicates that the singer may have been struggling financially or otherwise.


The next two verses speak to the disillusionment the singer feels with the other person. They suggest that the other person has been lying to them and stumbling over their words, and that the singer feels forgotten and old in the face of that deception. The final verse is a little more abstract, with the line "There could not be a possible you / Out on the mountain seeing it through" suggesting that there is a fundamental disconnect between the singer and the other person. Ultimately, the chorus repeats the central point of the song: the singer no longer wants to love the other person.
