Savage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But, they don't know
Girls at school think yous a fool
But, they don't know
I could be yours, but
They'll never know
They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know

You gotta tell me straight, are the rumors true?
Did you really do them things that you use to?
'Cause the girls at school say that I'm a fool
And they don't understand what I see in you
When I, don't know why they're bugging me
And they, always start tripping when you're hugging me
But I, really think you're lovely
And I guess they can't get enough of me
And I'm sick of she say, he say shit
What you done, where you been and who you with
These girls ain't my friends, they just like to shine
All of a sudden they jealous 'cause I made you mine

The neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But, they don't know
Girls at school think yous a fool
But, they don't know
I could be yours, but
They'll never know
They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know

Now here goes Charlie talking shit
Telling all the boys you was all his chick
Now I don't wanna resort to this
If I have to Charlie will be falling quick
And I don't understand why they all keep bugging
I walk in the room nobody ain't say nothing
They always calling when they see you out clubbing
(Savage I think your girl was getting up to something)
Huh, yo that can't be true, now you wouldn't be lying
To my face now would you
Besides she was out with my sister
And they both told me you was tryna kick it with her
Friends how many of us have them
Right before the time when they start back stabbing, huh
Never mind ignore all of that
Now can you please, can you please give it up for Savage

The neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But, they don't know
Girls at school think yous a fool
But, they don't know
I could be yours, but
They'll never know
They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know

They don't know (no, no, no)
They don't even know
We got this good thing goin' on
From the streets to the room
From the streets to the room
My steez is for you when that's
What I want you to know

They don't know (no, no, no)
They don't even know
We got this good thing goin' on
From the streets to the room
From the streets to the room
My steez is for you when that's
What I want you to know

The neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But, they don't know
Girls at school think yous a fool
But, they don't know
I could be yours, but
They'll never know
They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know

Neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But, they don't know
Girls at school think yous a fool
But, they don't know
I could be yours, but
They'll never know




They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know

Overall Meaning

"They Don't Know" by Savage feat. Aaradhna is a song about a couple who are facing criticism and rumors from others around them, but they are determined to stay together through thick and thin. The lyrics suggest that while others might judge and label them negatively, they don't truly know what it means to be in a relationship like theirs. The singer addresses the rumors and lies that are circulating, encouraging their partner to be honest with them about what's true or not. They express frustration with the haters who always have something negative to say, but they're willing to stand by their love despite the opinions of others.


The first verse of the song sets the scene, introducing the listener to the negative opinions of people in the couple's social circle. The singer acknowledges that the "neighborhood dudes" think poorly of them, but assures their partner that they don't really know the truth about their relationship. The girls at school view the singer's lover as a fool, but the singer knows that there is more to them than meets the eye. The second verse delves deeper into the rumors surrounding the couple, with the singer asking their partner to confirm or deny what's being said. They acknowledge that the people around them are always talking and spreading lies, but that won't deter them from staying loyal to one another. Finally, the hook repeats the themes of the song, with the singer declaring that others might think what they want, but they know what's real and they're not going to let anyone break them apart.

What you done, where you been and who you with
People are interested in every aspect of our lives


These girls ain't my friends, they just like to shine
These girls aren't my true friends, they just want to be the center of attention


All of a sudden they jealous 'cause I made you mine
They're envious because I got to you before they did

Telling all the boys you was all his chick
Charlie is claiming that you're his girlfriend


Now I don't wanna resort to this
I don't want to have to take any drastic measures


If I have to Charlie will be falling quick
If needed, I will take action against Charlie


And I don't understand why they all keep bugging
I don't know why people keep bothering us


I walk in the room nobody ain't say nothing
When I enter a room, people suddenly become quiet


They always calling when they see you out clubbing
People are always contacting me when they see you out socializing


(Savage I think your girl was getting up to something)
Someone has accused you of doing something inappropriate


Huh, yo that can't be true, now you wouldn't be lying
I refuse to believe that you would be dishonest with me


To my face now would you
I need you to tell me the truth directly


Besides she was out with my sister
You were actually spending time with someone else


And they both told me you was tryna kick it with her
Both my sister and you told me that you were trying to hang out


Friends how many of us have them
It's hard to know who you can trust as a true friend


Right before the time when they start back stabbing, huh
People are friendly until they turn around and betray you


Never mind ignore all of that
Let's not worry about other people's opinions


Now can you please, can you please give it up for Savage
Let's focus on how great we are together and celebrate our relationship


They don't know (no, no, no)
People don't truly understand what we have


They don't even know
Others have no idea how special our connection is


We got this good thing goin' on
Our relationship is positive and fulfilling


From the streets to the room
Our connection is evident no matter where we are


My steez is for you when that's
I'm dedicated to you and our relationship


What I want you to know
I want you to understand how much you and our relationship mean to me

A song that will never be old to jam

Was literally in an emergency healthcare tent behind the Stage held for an important NZ day called β€˜Waitangi Day.’ Lucky enough my fatigue body & brain became aware of the surroundings I was in fast enough to hear them when they hopped on stage. Epilepsy can never make me faint away from every lasting childhood memories! Glad I got the best, loudest spot too.
