Don't Wanna Say
Lauren Jauregui Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shaking with desire, thinking 'bout what if
If you go ahead and lean your hand closer to mine
And rest your leg against my thigh
Wouldn't that be something?
Wouldn't that be? Mm
I really want it, but
Don't wanna say I want it
You should know that I do
I need it badly, boy
Don't wanna say I want it
Don't wanna say I want it
You should know that I do
What we had is gone, I'm sad
I can read it in your eyes
When you're looking at me like that
Yeah, I want it, but
Don't wanna say I want it
Don't wanna say I want it
You should know that I do
Te espero
Abre esa boca, dime una cosa
No tengas miedo, bebé
Acerca y atrévete
Ya sé, sé que sabe bien lo que hacer
Con este cuerpo que mira como si tuviera sed
Wish you'd grab my face
As you drag your hand to my waist, down my back
Wouldn't that be something heavenly?
Mmm, yeah
I really want it, but
Don't wanna say I want it
Don't wanna say I want it
You should know that I do (don't wanna say, baby)
I need it badly, boy
Don't wanna say I want it
Don't wanna say I want it
You should know that I do
What we had is gone, I'm sad
I can read it in your eyes
When you're looking at me like that
Yeah, I want it, but
Don't wanna say I want it (don't wanna say)
Don't wanna say I want it
You should know that I do
Oh, you should know it, baby
Yeah, you should know it, baby (you should know that I do)
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, hey-hey-hey (you should know that I do)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, hey-hey
You should know that I do
The lyrics to Lauren Jauregui's song "Don't Wanna Say" are about the conflicting desire for intimacy and the fear of expressing that desire. The song captures the tension between wanting something passionately but being hesitant to admit it openly.
The opening lines describe the electric anticipation of a potential physical connection. The mention of "phantom fingertips" and the idea of leaning closer and touching suggests a longing for physical closeness and intimacy. However, the singer is reluctant to express this desire directly, hence the repeated refrain of "Don't wanna say I want it."
The chorus reveals the singer's internal struggle. They desperately want this connection, but they are afraid of expressing it openly. The line "What we had is gone, I'm sad, I can read it in your eyes" suggests that there is a history between the two, potentially a lost romantic connection, and this longing is resurfacing. The singer wants the person to know that they do want it, but they are torn between vulnerability and the fear of rejection or disappointment.
The second verse introduces some Spanish lyrics, adding a layer of seduction and passion. The singer urges the person to take a risk, be bold, and not be afraid. The line "Con este cuerpo que mira como si tuviera sed" translates to "With this body that looks as if it were thirsty," emphasizing the physical desire and attraction.
The bridge expresses the yearning for an intimate moment where the person grabs the singer's face and explores their body. The line "Wouldn't that be something heavenly?" suggests that this kind of connection would be a dream come true.
Overall, the song captures the internal battle between desire and fear, expressing the longing for intimacy while keeping it hidden. It explores the vulnerability and hesitancy often present in romantic connections.

LETRA EN ESPAÑOL
Las yemas de los dedos del fantasma rozan mi piel
Temblando con deseo, pensando en qué pasaría si
Si sigues adelante y acercas tu mano a la mía
Y apoyas tu pierna contra mi muslo
¿No sería eso algo? ¿No lo sería? Mmm
Realmente lo quiero, pero
No quiero decir que lo quiero
No quiero decir que lo quiero
Deberías saber que lo quiero
Lo necesito desesperadamente pero
No quiero decir que lo quiero
No quiero decir que lo quiero
Deberías saber que lo quiero
Lo que teníamos se fue, estoy triste
Puedo leerlo en tus ojos
Cuando me miras así
Sí, lo quiero, pero
No quiero decir que lo quiero
No quiero decir que lo quiero
Deberías saber que lo quiero
Te espero
Abre esa boca, dime una cosa
No tenga 'miedo, bebé
Acerca y atrévete
Ya sé, sé que sabe' bien lo que hacer
Con este cuerpo que mira como si tuviera
Deseo que agarres mi cara
Mientras arrastras tus manos hacia mi cintura por mi espalda
¿No sería eso algo celestial? Mmm sí
Realmente lo quiero, pero
No quiero decir que lo quiero
No quiero decir que lo quiero
No quiero decir, bebé
No quiero decir que lo quiero
No quiero decir que lo quiero
Lo quiero
Lo que teníamos se fue, estoy triste
Puedo leerlo en tus ojos
Cuando me miras así
Sí, lo quiero, pero
No quiero
No quiero decir, sí
Deberías saber que lo quiero
deberías
deberías
Si-Si, eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
oh-oh, eh-eh
deberías sable Que lo quiero...

No termino de asimilar que este día por fin llegó, nuestra bebé lo logró, es libre de escribir y cantar lo que ella quiere, el mundo entero la conocerá y reconocerá su trabajo!
Edward Díaz
@Noe Vasquez te agradezco mucho, no tenía idea. Creí que todas ellas habían firmado con disqueras que las ayudaban y no las explotaban como en el grupo
Noe Vasquez
@Edward Díaz antes estaba en una disquera que no la promocionaba y no le daban "apoyo económico", ni la dejaba canta lo que ella quería, de hecho, ella tuvo que poner de su dinero para poder sacar Expectations y la mayoría de sus videos. En fin, ahora tiene su propio sello discográfico
Edward Díaz
Antes no podía hacerlo? No estoy contextualizado.
Daniela Eukario
Lauren merece más reconocimiento, Vamos The Covens hay que hacer que el mundo conozca a Lauren Jauregui ❤️✨
