Don't
The Tarney/Spencer Group Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your pretty golden hair
Don't want to see you
'Round my door anymore
Ain't no use you making it up
I told you gal
And you've come unstuck
You be messin' me up
Don't want you no more
Don't want you no more
Don't want your lovin', honey
Don't want you no more.
You come around and you think
That I'm always there
Always was
But you never seemed to care
Ridin' around with them other guys
You don't seem to realize
That I'm all hung up on you
Don't want you no more
Don't want you no more
Don't want your lovin', honey
Don't want you no more
I stayed out at night
But I never seemed to sleep
Asked myself if you're worth
The money to keep
I'm thinking of the good
Times that we had
I never thought a gal
Could be so bad
I can't help thinkin' to myself
Don't want you no more
Don't want you no more
Don't want your lovin' honey
Don't want you no more
Don't want you no more
Don't want you no more
Don't want your lovin' honey
Don't want you no more
The Tarney/Spencer Group's song Don't is a classic break-up song with straightforward lyrics that express the singer's determination to end a troubled relationship. The lyrics start with a defiant statement, "I'm through with you," indicating that the singer has had enough of his lover's deception and is unwilling to take her back. He further emphasizes this by stating that he does not want to see her around him anymore. The singer hints towards a history of being mistreated by his lover and how it has affected him negatively. He tells her that her attempts to make amends are futile, and he has come to the conclusion that he does not want her anymore.
The next verse reveals that the singer's efforts to make the relationship work have been undermined by his lover's infidelity, which has left him feeling uncared for and unimportant to her. The singer is resentful that his lover has been seeing other men and is oblivious to the impact it has had on him. The singer confesses that he has been stuck on her and it has led him to make poor choices. However, this time, he is determined to let go and break loose from the toxic relationship.
The last verse reveals the singer's inner turmoil as he reflects on the good times they shared, but he eventually concludes that the relationship is not worth holding onto, and the song ends with a repetition of the chorus – "Don't want you no more." This song is an emotional portrayal of a person who has given up on a relationship that used to mean something to them.

I'm through with you
I have ended my relationship with you
And your pretty golden hair
I am no longer influenced by your physical appearance or charm
Don't want to see you
I do not want to encounter you anymore
'Round my door anymore
I do not want you to visit my house
Ain't no use you making it up
It is pointless for you to try to apologize
I told you gal
I already informed you
And you've come unstuck
You have failed to keep our relationship together
You be messin' me up
You have been causing trouble and distorting my life
Don't want you no more
I have completely moved on without you
Don't want your lovin', honey
I do not desire your affection or love anymore
You come around and you think
You return to my surroundings and assume
That I'm always there
I would always be waiting for you
Always was
I have always been available for you
But you never seemed to care
It seems that you have never appreciated it
Ridin' around with them other guys
You were frequently with other men
You don't seem to realize
You are not aware or ignorant of
That I'm all hung up on you
It is hard for me to forget you and move on
I stayed out at night
I was often outside in the evening
But I never seemed to sleep
I was not able to rest peacefully
Asked myself if you're worth
I questioned if you are deserving of
The money to keep
The cost of continuing our relationship
I'm thinking of the good
I recall the happy or satisfying moments
Times that we had
Experiences that we shared together
I never thought a gal
I did not anticipate that a woman
Could be so bad
Could treat me so poorly
I can't help thinkin' to myself
I often find myself reflecting
