Ska-J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah
Ah ah

Don't say you love me, it ain't true
Honey, don't you know my eyes are watching you?
Don't say you love me, it's a lie
'Cause I don't believe that you care for me when I die
You don't love me baby, hmm
You just love what I do! (Let me tell y'all something)
You like the way I play so gracefully
Like the way I bend it, ooh and I sing
You love the way I walk, you like the way I talk
Don't say you love me, ya' just love what I do! (You love what I do)

You love the way I give you some kinda real funky feelin'
To keep ya' rockin' and reelin'.
You love the way I'm all night long, hands on
With your feelings
Ohh, it ain't true

Don't say you love me, that's a damn lie
Don't say you even care for me
When I'm gone and I die
Don't say you want me, 'cause that ain't true
Baby don't you know my eyes been watching you
Hmm don't say you love me 'cause, you just love what I do
Oh, you love what I do

Ooh, you love the way I give you some kinda real funky feelin', uh uh
Come on now kinfolks
And face the dark side of you
Ooh, you just love what I do

Don't say you love me
You don't mean it
Don't say you love me
If you don't mean it
Don't say you love me
If you don't mean it
You don't care
'Cause you can't feel it, huh

You know you're sayin' something that ain't true
You just love what I do (That's alright with me)
Ooh, you don't love me baby (I know it)
You just love what I do
Love what I do
Huh, you don't love me baby.




You just love what I do
Ya' love what I do
