Don't You Know
The Internet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're beautiful
You brighten up my day
And when your skin touches mine
I get goosebumps right away

But you don't even know
Don't even know, know
I said you don't even know

Don't even know, know (said you don't even know)

As usual
I love your embrace
I'm a fiend for your attention
Yes I am baby

But you don't even know
Don't even know, know
I said you don't even know
Don't even know, know (said you don't even know)

You have no idea (said you don't even know)

But you don't even know
Don't even know, know
I said you don't even know
Don't even know, know (said you don't even know)

If you only knew
How I look at you
You'd call me crazy
But maybe it's you who
Who hasn't a clue

And you should already know
Already know, already know
Said you should
Already know
Already know, already know

You're the reason
I'm singing this song
When I say that
You're the beat in my heart, baby

And you should already know
Already know, already know
Said you should
Already know
Already know, already know

You have no idea (said you don't even know)

But you don't even know
Don't even know, know
I said you don't even know
Don't even know, know (said you don't even know)

You don't even know
You have no idea
You don't even know
You have no idea

You don't even know
You have no idea
You don't even know
You have no idea

You don't even know
You don't even know
You don't even know
You don't even know, know,know
You don't even know, know,know
You don't even know, know,know
Yeah

You don't even know
You don't even know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of You Don't Even Know by The Internet feat. Tay Walker express feelings of unrequited love. The singer of the song is deeply in love with someone who doesn't seem to reciprocate their feelings. The first verse describes how the person's beauty and touch give the singer goosebumps, but they don't even realize it. In the second verse, the singer professes their love for the other person's attention and embrace, but again, they seem oblivious to it. The bridge suggests that the other person ought to already know about the singer's feelings and their integral role in their life.

However, the last part of the bridge implies that maybe the singer is also oblivious to how the other person feels. The outro repeats the words "you don't even know" multiple times, highlighting the theme of unrequited love.

Overall, the song's style is slow and smooth, aligning with the song's melancholic message. The harmonious vocals blend effortlessly with the mellow beat to create a poignant mood that captures the longing and sadness of unrequited love.
