Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I say these words to you I know you better reply
Why don’t you love me meeee
I’m giving you tonight because I’m telling you gonna decide
Why can’t you love me meeee

This is your last time
This is the last time you’re running away
Soon you’ll be back saying you’re here to stay
Next time I won’t let you have it your way
Baby you know you got nowhere to turn turn
Nowhere to turn nowhere to turn
Nowhere nowhere
Nowhere to turn nowhere to turn
Nowhere nowhere
Nowhere to turn nowhere to turn
Nowhere nowhere
Nowhere to turn nowhere to turn
Nowhere nowhere

Every time I’m in the room they boys they don’t know how to behave
Why won’t you love me
Keep trying so hard like you don’t care but baby you feel the same
Show me you love me

This is your last time
This is the last time you’re running away
Soon you’ll be back saying you’re here to stay
Next time I won’t let you have it your way
Baby you know you got nowhere to turn turn
Nowhere to turn nowhere to turn
Nowhere nowhere
Nowhere to turn nowhere to turn
Nowhere nowhere
Nowhere to turn nowhere to turn
Nowhere nowhere
Nowhere to turn nowhere to turn
Nowhere nowhere

Why why don’t you love me
This is the last time

Soon soon soon you’ll you’ll be
Have it your way baby baby baby no no no no

Nowhere to turn nowhere to turn
Nowhere nowhere

This this this




Soon soon soon you’ll you’ll be
Have it your way baby baby baby baby no no no

Overall Meaning

In "Don't You Want Me" by Savage, the singer is pleading with their lover to reciprocate the love they have been giving them. They question why their lover won't love them back and give them the attention they deserve. The lyrics suggest that the relationship has been tumultuous with the lover running away in the past, but the singer is determined not to let that happen again. The chorus repeats the idea that the lover has nowhere to turn, implying that they should stay and work things out with the singer.


The first verse sets the tone for the song, in which the singer tells their lover that every time they express their love, they expect a response. They question why the lover won't love them back, indicating the pain they feel from being rejected. The chorus repeats that this is the lover's last chance, and they should stay and work things out with the singer.


The second verse is addressed to other men in the room who don't "know how to behave" when the singer is present. They seem to be telling their lover that they are looking for validation and want the lover to prove they love them. Again, the chorus repeats the idea that the lover has nowhere to turn and should stay and work things out with the singer.
