Don't You Want Me
The Bahamas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I met you. I picked you out
I shook you up
And turned you around
Turned you into someone new.
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you.
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
Don't
Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe it
When I see that you don't need me
Don't
Don't you want me?
You know can't believe you
When you say that you won't see me
Now I wait to find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry.
Don't you want me baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you want me baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true.
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you.
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you.
But now I think it's time I live my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do
Don't
Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it
When you say that you won't see me
Don't
Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you
When you say that you don't need me
Now I wait to find
You've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry.
Don't you want me baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you want me baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you want me baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
Don't you want me baby?
Don't you want me, oh?
The lyrics of "Don't you want me" by The Bahamas (originally by The Human League) tells the story of a former lover who helped the singer climb the ladder of success. The song begins with the singer addressing the former lover, who used to be a waitress in a cocktail bar, and revealing that he picked her out and changed her into someone new. Five years later, the former lover has achieved immense success, but the singer reminds them that it was he who put them where they are now and can put them back down too. The chorus repeatedly asks the former lover if they still want the singer in their life, despite their newfound success.
In the second verse, the singer reveals that even when they were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, they knew they would find a better place for themselves. The five years spent with the former lover were great, but now it's time for the singer to live their life on their own. However, they still love the former lover and hope they change their mind about wanting them back.
Overall, the song describes the dynamic between two lovers where one helped the other succeed, but the other has now become successful and may no longer need the help of their former lover. It's a story of love, ambition, and resentment.
