Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna know about that love thing
Give me what I'm needing
You know what I'm dreaming of
Don't wanna know about love thing
Been broken hearted before (oh)
But that's the last time it happens to me yeah
Too much emotion baby, why can't you see
I'm not afraid of your love
(I'm not afraid of your love)
Why can't you see I've had my share of that
You're what I want boy
You know you got boy
You gotta want me
It's just what I need
I'm not that easy as a matter of a fact
There's no room for lovin'
Stop that push and shovin' yeah
Don't wanna know about that love thing
Give me what I'm needing
You know what I'm dreaming of
Don't wanna know about that love thing
(Here we go, here we go, here we go)
Now don't go wasting my time
(Don't go wasting my time)
You're not the only thing I've got on my mind
My friends are with me when you ain't been around
Your precious words and promises ain't bringin' me down
I've got some living to do
(I've got some living to do)
Don't assume I'm gonna be with you
Your what I want boy
You know you got boy
You gotta want me
It's just what I need
I'm not that easy as a matter of a fact
There's no room for lovin'
Stop that push and shovin' yeah
Don't wanna know about that love thing
Give me what I'm needing
You know what I'm dreaming of
Don't wanna know about that love thing
Stop pushing
You're rushing (you're losing my lovin')
I hope it (I see it)
Just play it (you feel it)
Gotta be bold (bold and oh so strong)
Get with this and you got it goin' on
On and on with the girls named Spice
You wanna get with us then you'd better think twice
God help the mister (yeah God help the mister)
That comes between me and my sisters
I'm not afraid of your love
(I'm not afraid of your love)
Why can't you see I've had my share of that
You're what I want boy
You know you got boy
You gotta want me
It's just what I need
I'm not that easy as a matter of a fact
There's no room for lovin'
Stop that push and shovin' yeah
Don't wanna know about that love thing
Give me what I'm needing
You know what I'm dreaming of
Don't wanna know about that love thing
There's no room for lovin'
Stop that push and shovin' yeah
Don't wanna know about that love thing
Give me what I'm needing
You know what I'm dreaming of
Don't wanna know about that love thing
There's no room for lovin'
Stop that push and shovin' yeah
Don't wanna know about that love thing
Give me what I'm needing
You know what I'm dreaming of
The Spice Girls' song "Love Thing" is a song about a woman who is not interested in love and has had her heart broken in the past. She tells her partner that she does not want to know about "that love thing" and instead wants him to give her what she needs and what she is dreaming of. She has been hurt before and does not want to be hurt again.
The chorus of the song declares that there is no room for love and that push and shoving is not wanted. The woman knows what she wants and is not willing to compromise. She is strong and not afraid to stand up for herself.
The bridge of the song encourages the man to be bold and strong if he wants to be with the Spice Girls. They are a strong group of women who will not let anyone come between them, and the man needs to understand that. Overall, the song is a declaration of independence and strength, with the Spice Girls not interested in love for the sake of love, but rather in finding someone who can give them what they need and want.
