The Less I Know
Topic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm not with you, don't know what I'll do
The silence is screamin' of things that I'm thinkin' of
What you really do?
'Cause all I ever hear is
You don't really care 'bout me
Go, you should probably leave
A little less conversation
A little more body
Is all I need
I know you will love me, love me
No, I don't care what they're sayin'
You show that you love me that's all I need
The less I know is better
The less I know is better
The less I know is better
Better, better for me
The less I know is better
The less I know is better
The less I know is better
Better, better for me, for me
(For me)
A bad reputation
I'm scared hesitating
I wanna hear your lie
Of what you did last night
Your kisses they heal me
Your hands on my body
Make it feel alright
When all I ever hear is
You don't really care 'bout me
Go, you should probably leave
Love me, love me
A little less conversation
A little more body is all I need
I know you will love me, love me
No, I don't care what they're sayin'
You show that you love me that's all I need
The less I know is better
The less I know is better
The less I know is better
Better, better for me
The less I know is better
The less I know is better
The less I know is better
Better, better for me, for me
(The less I know is better)
(The less I know)
(The less I know)
(The less I know)
(The less I know)
(The less I know)
The less I know is better

The silence between them represents the unspoken thoughts and doubts they have about their partner's true intentions. They question what the other person truly does because all they seem to hear is that the partner doesn't care about them and should leave.
The chorus then delves into the singer's desire for more physical intimacy and less conversation. They long for more affectionate actions and gestures, believing that this is all they need to feel truly loved. They disregard what others say about their partner and focus solely on whether their partner shows love and affection towards them. The singer acknowledges that they know their partner will love them, regardless of any opinions or rumors.
The repetition of the phrase "the less I know is better" emphasizes the singer's preference to remain in the dark or ignorant about certain aspects of their partner's actions.

Despite this fear, the singer finds solace in the healing power of their partner's kisses and the comforting touch of their hands on their body. These physical gestures alleviate their worries and make everything feel alright.
Ultimately, the lyrics convey a complex dynamic where the singer is torn between wanting more love and physical intimacy while also being hesitant to know the truth.
