Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had no lovin' since you know when
You know I love you, yes I do
And I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you
Need your lovin' and I need it bad
Just like a dog when he's goin' mad
Hoo-ee baby hoo-ee
Baby won't you give your love to me
Told me you didn't want me 'round no more
Hoo-ee baby hoo-ee
Baby don't you let your dog bite me
Yes it's me and I'm in love again
Had no lovin' since you know when
You know I love you, yes I do
And I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you
Need your lovin' and I need it bad
Just thinkin' of you makes me feel so glad
Hoo-ee baby hoo-ee
Baby won't you give your love to me
Eeny meeny miney mo
You know it's you that I love so
Hoo-ee baby hoo-ee
The lyrics to "I Won't Say I'm in Love" describe a person who has fallen in love again after a period of being without love. The singer acknowledges their feelings and expresses their need for love from the person they are addressing in the song.

Despite their reservations, the singer is clearly devoted to the person they are singing to and is willing to wait for them. The lyrics suggest that they have experienced heartbreak in the past, but they are willing to take a risk again for the sake of love. The repetition of "hoo-ee baby hoo-ee" adds a playful element to the song, but it also conveys the singer's desperation and desire to be loved.
Overall, "I Won't Say I'm in Love" is a bittersweet love song that captures the complicated emotions of falling in love after a period of loneliness and heartbreak.
