Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my mind I can't stop thinking
That you don't know you got my head up in the sky
Everyday that goes by wen I'm with you
Every minute I spend with you
Oh how bad it hurts
Just to think it wouldn't work
Boy you don't know just how bad I'm wantin' you
You don't even know how I'm feelin' you (you don't even know)
That I want you, want to be with you baby
You don't even know how I'm feelin' you (you don't even know)
That I need you, gotta have you
Now I'm secretly feelin' you, I want you to know baby
That I want to be yo lady yea
Not talkin' just anythang, want to be your everythang
Cum on now play with me boy, want to bring you so much joy
Everyday that goes by wen I'm with you
Every minute I spend with you
Oh how bad it hurts
Just to think it wouldn't work
I confess I'm into you, do what chu want me to
Boi you don't know just how bad I'm wantin' you
You don't even know how I'm feelin' you (you don't even know)
That I want cha, want to be with you baby
You don't even know how I'm feelin' you (you don't even know)
That I need you, gotta have you
Keep callin' chicked heads from Pasadena to Medina
In my white beama, pull you over like Trina
Yo I take em all sizes vita to misdemeanor
But Nivea when I seen ya, ugh you had me open like Vick's vapor rub
Nick made you love, den wakin' up, you hook you're egg and bacon up
Nick got chicks feelin' really really dumb
'cause they don't know bout you feelin' me, I'm feelin' you what
Well if you feelin' what I'm spittin' we goin' kick it tonight
Ain't no need in wastin' time boy I told you you're fly
We can roll out and we can wild out, let's get crazy
Can't see no other lady, den me callin' you baby
It's really truly devastatin dat chu want to take my hand
I had you on my mind thinkin' bout how we would vibe
Why lie it ain't no secret, I put it out there on the line
How I'm feelin' you're style, I'll go that extra mile
You don't even know how I'm feelin' you (you don't even know)
That I want you, want to be with you baby
You don't even know how I'm feelin' you (you don't even know)
That I need you, gotta have you
The song "You Don't Even Know" by Nivea featuring Nick Cannon talks about how Nivea has deep feelings for someone who doesn't even know it. She is worried that he doesn't understand how much she wants to be with him and how he has her head up in the sky. She tells him that he doesn't even know how she's feeling about him, and how she wants to be his lady, not just talking about anything, but being his everything. She confesses that she's into him and will do anything he wants her to, and how bad she's wanting him. Nivea opens up her heart to Nick, and he reciprocates by talking about how much he feels for her and how he wants to be with her.
The song is a beautiful R&B piece that showcases Nivea's strong and soulful vocals while Nick's rap skills raise the bar. The song's theme of wanting someone but not expressing it openly is relatable to many people. The lyrics showcase the vulnerability one feels when they confess their love to someone, and the fear of not receiving the same affection in return. The beat's slow rhythm, combined with the poignant lyrics, creates an aura of melancholy longing, making the song a tear-jerker.
