Don't Say You Love Me
Krissy & Ericka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1:

Got introduced to you by a friend

You were cute and all that baby you set the trend

Yes you did oh
The next thing I know we're down at the cinema

We're sitting there you said you love me

What's that about?



Verse 2:

You're moving too fast I don't understand you

I'm not ready yet baby I can't pretend

No I can't

The best I can do is tell you to talk to me

It's possible eventual

Love will find a way

Love will find a way...



CHORUS:

Don't say you love me

You don't even know me

If you really want me

Then give me some time

Don't go there baby

Not before I'm ready

Don't say your heart's in a hurry

It's not like we're gonna get married

Give me, give me some time



Verse 3:

Here's how I play, here's where you stand

Here's what to prove to get any further than where it's been

I'll make it clear, not gonna tell you twice

Take it slow, you keep pushing me

You're pushing me away

Pushing me away...



CHORUS



BRIDGE:

oooo, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

na, na, na, na, na, na

oooo, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

na, na, na, na, na, na, na



Don't say you love me

You don't even know me baby...



Baby don't say love me, baby

Give me some time...







CHORUS (repeat until fade out)

Overall Meaning

The song 'Don't Say You Love Me' by Krissy & Ericka is a plea from the perspective of someone being pursued too aggressively by a romantic interest. The first verse sets the scene, with the singer being introduced to the other person through a friend and being attracted to their trend-setting style. However, things progress very quickly, with the other person expressing their love after a first date. In the second verse, the singer expresses discomfort with this situation, stating that they aren't ready to commit and need more time. They urge the other person to slow down and take things one step at a time. The chorus is a direct plea to this effect - don't say you love me, give me some time, don't rush into things before I'm ready. The bridge section is a vocally-driven passage with some great harmonies, emphasizing the point that the singer needs more time to figure out their feelings.


This song is a perfect representation of the classic struggle in dating scenarios - when one person wants to move faster than the other. The lyrics beautifully encapsulate the singer's hesitation and confusion and reflect the struggle of trying to communicate these feelings to the other person. The chorus is particularly catchy and memorable, and will resonate with anyone who's been in a similar situation.

They're so talented. PH why are we sleeping on them🤧 I'm sad I only know them now😭

@lifeordeath13

talented po talaga sila which never can't deny that fact, kaso yung style nila ng kanta di na po talaga yung trip ng mga tao same with Michelle Branch, pero kung mga year 2005 - 2014 siguro sikat na sikat to sila, masyadong late na rin po kasi nung lumabas sila sa scene, pero kung ma re-invent nila yung sarili nila na naaayon sa klase ng kantahan ngayon sigurado madaming makikinig sa kanila...

@cebutours8845
