Lately every morning when I wake
Tired of lookin' at this lazy face
Used to have a job but he don't no more
Said that he got big plans for me
Can I move in till I get on my feet
But it's been a year and 3 months passed
Gotta show me somethin'
'cause I don't want to give up on you, man
I don't want to give up now (no no no no)
I don't want to throw the towel (no)
I don't want to waste all of this time
That we've been together now (together now)
I don't want to turn my back on you (my back on you)
Don't want to do what my girls say do (what my girls say do)
I don't want to
I don't want to (I don't wanna)
I don't want to (no)
Work all day then when I get home
I want to spend some time with my man alone
DVD or some BET
Dinner for two, just you and me
Honey's at the gym playing basketball
Cellphone rings now he's at the mall
Shoppin' is a must when the bills are paid
So I don't need to tell you baby just hear me when I say
I don't want to give up now (oh no I don't)
I don't want to throw the towel (man I don't)
I don't want to waste all of this time (this time)
That we've been together now (together now
I don't want to turn my back on you (on you)
Don't want to do what my girls say do
(don't want to do, don't want to do)
I don't want to (oh oh)
I don't want to (no)
I don't want to
Now baby you know that I love you
More than anything (you know I do baby)
And yes I know that in your heart
You love me just the same
And together we can do better
Just like we talked about (yes we talked about it)
But you need to keep the words that you said
Or I can do just as good by myself
I don't want to give up now (don't' want to give up on you)
I don't want to throw the towel (all I want is you)
I don't want to waste all of this time
That we've been together now (ain't nobody else for me)
I don't want to turn my back on you (oh no)
Don't want to do what my girls say do
(they don't know what we've been through baby)
I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
(I ain't gon' give up on you)
I don't want to give up now
(oh no no no)
I don't want to throw the towel
(don't want to give up on you baby)
I don't want to waste all of this time
(don't want to waste)
That we've been together now
(so many good good times)
I don't want to turn my back on you
(always been together baby)
Don't want to do what my girls say do
(always stay together baby)
I don't want to
I don't want to
(and I want to stay together baby)
I don't want to
(just hear me now) mm mm mm
(hope you hear me now) mm mm mm mm
(you better hear me) now mhmhm mm mm mm
Mm mm mhm

The song "I Don't Wanna" by KeKe Wyatt tells the story of a woman who is tired of her man not living up to his promises. She wakes up every day to see him lounging around being lazy, while he should be out trying to make something of himself. She'd like to spend time with him, but whenever she gets home, he's never there. He's always out shopping or playing basketball with his friends, instead of trying to improve their lives as a couple. The chorus is a plea from her to her man, asking him not to make her give up on him, not to waste the time they've already spent together, and not to let their relationship fade away.
Throughout the verses and Chorus, the underlying message is that relationships take work, and at times men need to "step up". The song's author expresses frustration with her partner, not wanting to throw in the towel but also not wanting to waste time. She is tired of making excuses for his lack of plans and goals because it's been over a year since he hasn't had a job.
In conclusion, the song "I Don't Wanna" by KeKe Wyatt is a emotional ballad about a woman who is tired of being in a one-sided relationship, where she constantly has to carry the load. The lyrics show that relationships require hard work, compromise and sacrifice, but also encourages her man to step up and deliver on his promises to make things work. It is a powerful message to both men and women to take responsibility for their roles in their relationships and strive to make them work.
