Do You Love Me
The Nite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It ain't the way you move
It ain't the way that you move me
Oh no

It ain't the way you shake
It ain't the way that you shake me
Oh no
It's been twenty-five years I'm a kid on the run
I've got a pistol for action

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know

I love the way you use
I love the way that you use me
Oh yeah

I love the way you shoot
I love the way that you shoot to kill me
Oh yeah

It's taken miles and lines
To learn the right from the wrong I'll keep you hanging on

So, don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me love me, love me, yeah

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know

Don't tell me you love me




Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know
