You didn't know
Kjwan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
‘Cause I know what you can do
Stop, Stare, Strutting for the fellows
As if though I was not there
You didn't know what you were doing
You didn't know it was not right
‘Cause if you knew what you were doing
I guess you didn't know
Who you were messing with
Cause ...
Watch me do my Voodoo-Who-Do
That you know I do so well
So well.
The song "You Didn't Know" by Kjwan is a powerful and raw recollection of a man's pain and frustration over the constant disrespect he receives from the woman he loves. The lyrics convey the sentiments of a man who has been deeply hurt by a woman's actions, struggling to understand why she is playing games with his heart. He implores her to stop pretending to be oblivious to his presence while flirting with other men. He is trying to let her know that he understands that she is not aware of the hurt she is causing him by her behavior.
The chorus of the song addresses the lack of awareness on the woman's part regarding the gravity of the situation. The lyric "You didn't know what you were doing, You didn't know it was not right" refers to how the woman is unaware that she is breaking the man's heart. He is urging her to realize the depth of her actions, urging her to come home with him tonight instead of flirting with other men.
The bridge of the song is an expression of anger and internal pain. It reveals the man's deep understanding of his partner's nature and highlights his own potent feelings for her. The lyrics "I guess you didn't know who you were messing with/ Watch me do my Voodoo-Who-Do/ That you know I do so well" show the power struggle between the two parties, with the man trying his best to maintain authority and the woman trying her best to retain her independence. Ultimately, the song is a plea for the woman to examine her own motives and recognize the man's value before it is too late.
