Don't Say You Love Me
Sandy e Junior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've seen this place a thousand times,
I've felt this all before
And every time you call,
I've waited there as though you might not call at all.

I know this face I'm wearing now
I've seen this in my eyes
And though it feels so great I'm still afraid
That you'll be leaving anytime

We've done this once and then you closed the door,
Don't let ma fall again for nothing more

Don't say you love me unless forever,
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay,
Don't give me this feeling I'll only believe it,
Make it real or take it all away

I've caught myself smiling alone,
Just thinking of your voice,




And dreaming of your touch it's all too much,
You know I don't have any choice.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sandy e Junior's song "Don't Say You Love Me" speak about a relationship characterized by ambiguity and insecurity. The singer confesses that they have experienced this situation before, expressing their fear that their partner will leave them at any moment. They have been hurt in the past, and they don't want to go through the same pain again. The singer is stuck in a cycle of waiting for their partner's call, even though they are afraid that they won't call. They are torn between their feelings of love and the fear of being hurt.


The lyrics emphasize the need for honesty and commitment within a relationship. The singer is asking their partner not to say that they love them unless they mean it forever. They do not want to hear that they are needed unless their partner is truly willing to stay. The singer does not want to be given false hope, as it will only result in more pain. They want their partner to make a real commitment or to take everything away.


The song's chorus is particularly powerful, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in relationships. The lyrics remind us that love and commitment are choices that we make and that they require honesty, trust, and respect. The song is a cautionary tale about the danger of playing games and not being true to our feelings.


Line by Line Meaning

I've seen this place a thousand times,
I am used to this situation


I've felt this all before
I have experienced this before


And every time you call,
Whenever you contact me


I've waited there as though you might not call at all.
I have waited for you, uncertain if you would actually get in touch


I know this face I'm wearing now
I am aware of my current emotions


I've seen this in my eyes
I can recognize these feelings in myself


And though it feels so great I'm still afraid
Despite how good it feels, I am still scared


That you'll be leaving anytime
That you might depart soon


We've done this once and then you closed the door,
We have tried this before and it ended abruptly


Don't let ma fall again for nothing more
Do not let me get my hopes up again for no reason


Don't say you love me unless forever,
Do not claim to love me if it is not forever


Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay,
Do not express your need for me if you won't remain with me


Don't give me this feeling I'll only believe it,
Do not make me feel that way if it is not true


Make it real or take it all away
Either confirm it's real or get rid of it


I've caught myself smiling alone,
I have been caught smiling to myself


Just thinking of your voice,
Merely pondering the sound of your voice


And dreaming of your touch it's all too much,
And fantasizing about touching you is overwhelming


You know I don't have any choice.
You know I can't help it
