Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps
The Pussycat Dolls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You won't admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know?
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

A million times I've asked you,
And then I ask you over again
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted

So if you really love me
Say yes, but if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted

So if you really love me
Say yes, but if you don't dear, confess
But please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Overall Meaning

The Pussycat Dolls' "Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps" is a captivating tale of a lover's frustration with the uncertainty and ambiguity of their relationship. The first verse opens with the singer lamenting their lover's failure to acknowledge their love, asking how they are supposed to know if they never admit it. The chorus follows with the lover's constant use of "perhaps" to dodge any questions regarding their feelings. The frustration of the singer is palpable, with repeated pleas and appeals for a clearer answer, and ultimately a desperate plea for their lover to either confess their love or leave them alone.


The song is incredibly relatable to anyone who has ever experienced the frustration of feeling uncertain about a relationship's status. The singer's internal dilemma lies in deciding whether to continue with the uncertainty and risk of being heartbroken or abandon the relationship altogether. The song's powerful message is that love cannot flourish in indecision and ambiguity, and a definitive answer is necessary for any relationship to grow.


Overall, "Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps" is a captivating and relatable track that captures the urgency of unrequited love and the risks associated with refusing to decide.

You won't admit you love me 
And so 
How am I ever 
To know? 
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

A million times I've asked you 
And then 
I ask you over 
Again, you only answer 
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps 

If you can't make your mind up 
We'll never get started 
And I don't wanna wind up 
Being parted, broken-hearted 

So if you really love me, 
Say yes 
But if you don't dear, confess 
And please don't tell me 
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
