NO WAY
Valentine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cool it baby, I know just what you're thinking of
Funny how ya keep on talkin' crazy when we're makin' love
So busy with these little games you play
I can't wait to hear what you say

No way
Don't try and tell me you might ('cause I know what you're doin')
No Way
Oh, you're gonna get me tonight

Oh, baby, c'mon girl, don't ya think that you've had enough
Runnin' around and 'round and 'round and 'round ooh you think you're so tough
Every time you try to get your way
Oh, don't you hear what I say

No way
Don't try and tell me you might ('cause I know what you're doin')
No Way
Oh, you're gonna get me tonight

So busy with these little games you play
Don't try to get me, I won't come your way
Don't make me push you away, no

No way
Don't try and tell me you might ('cause I know what you're doin')




No Way
Oh, you're gonna get me tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Valentine's song "No Way" explore the push and pull of a romantic relationship. The singer is aware of their partner's manipulative behavior, and they won't fall for it. The song opens with a sense of frustration towards the partner's "crazy" talking during their intimate moments. The partner, in the singer's eyes, is so consumed with playing games, and they can't wait to hear what they have to say.


The chorus highlights the singer's resolve not to be manipulated, stating "No way, don't try and tell me you might (cause I know what you're doin')" then following that up with "you're gonna get me tonight". This implies that the partner's behavior in the past has worked to some extent but the singer is not going to fall for it this time.


The second verse then speaks directly to the partner, suggesting that they have been behaving poorly by "runnin' around and around and around ooh you think you're so tough." The singer then continues to demand that the partner not try to control them, as they won't fall for their games. The bridge of the song again repeats the idea that the partner is playing games, asking them not to "make me push you away."


Overall, "No Way" communicates both frustration and resolve. The singer has grown tired of the partner's manipulative behavior and is not going to fall for it anymore. The lyrics convey a sense of powerlessness on the part of the partner as they try and win the singer's affection, but the singer is having none of it.

This album is the best I've ever heard in my life. I love it. That's why when I die one day I want two things in my grave. The tennis racket and the Valentine's cd (Japan edition) โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ

Always though their debut album would catapult them into melodic rock stardom. Brilliant album from start to finish. The fucking grunge hype though prevented that from happening. Great band.
