Don't You Want Me
Mind & Moore Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey, hey Ooh, woah
The song starts off with a simple 'Hey' and 'Ooh' to grab the listener's attention.

Won't you come see about me? I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
The singer is asking their lover to come check on them, stating that they'll be alone and dancing. They believe that their lover knows how much dancing means to them.

Tell me your troubles and doubts Giving everything inside and out and Love's strange, so real in the dark Think of the tender things that we were working on
The singer wants their lover to confide in them and share their worries. They are willing to give everything to make their relationship work, and points out that love can be strange and almost magical.

Slow change may pull us apart When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't you, forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you, forget about me
The singer is urging their lover not to let go of their relationship, repeating the phrase 'Don't forget about me' to emphasize its importance.

Will you stand above me? Look my way, never love me Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down
The singer is questioning their lover's feelings for them, wondering if they'll ever truly love them. It's raining, which could symbolize the sadness and despair the singer feels.

Will you recognize me? Call my name or walk on by Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down, down
The singer is worried that their lover won't even recognize them and wonders if they'll ignore them or not. The rain is still falling, reinforcing the sorrowful tone of the song.

Don't you try and pretend It's my feeling we'll win in the end I won't harm you or touch your defenses Vanity and security, ah
The singer is asking their lover to not lie to themselves, stating that their relationship can succeed. They promise to not harm or break their lover's trust, and value the importance of pride and safety in a relationship.

Don't you forget about me I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby Going to take you apart I'll put us back together at heart, baby
The singer repeats the previous line, emphasizing how much they don't want their lover to forget about them. They promise to fix their relationship and 'put them back together at heart.'

As you walk on by Will you call my name? As you walk on by Will you call my name? When you walk away Or will you walk away? Will you walk on by? Come on, call my name Will you call my name?
The singer is pleading with their lover to not walk away, asking them to call their name to show that they still care. They repeat the phrase, hoping that it will resonate with their lover and they'll reach back out.

I say La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la When you walk on by And you call my name When you walk on by
The song ends with the singer repeating the phrase 'La la la' and hoping that their lover will still care for them when they walk away, and call their name.
