Don't know about you
Wizkid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can we just talk about it?
Got nothin' left to lose
But you still walk around it
And I'm the one who chooses
To still wonder 'bout you
I think I know the truth
But sometimes I doubt it
And I'm afraid it'll hurt when I finally fall down
'Cause the weight of my world's in the palm of your hands now
But you don't know it
You don't know it
You don't know it
You don't even know it
I try to keep my cool, but it's too hard to tell if
You play me for a fool or your heart finally felt it
And you're the one who's losin', you're too fuckin' selfish
I didn't wanna do this, but I just can't help it
And I'm afraid it'll hurt when I finally fall down
'Cause the weight of my world's in the palm of your hands now
But you don't know it
You don't know it
You don't know it
You don't know it
You don't even know it
If you wanna leave, my girl, you better leave
I really got a lot to offer, please
She said she stay, abeg don't bother, please
I got your message, baby, don't repeat
I know your body murder but baby chill
You ain't that special baby don't believe
'Cause all we have is never meant to be
No disrespect, but you set the tone
And I'm afraid it'll hurt when I finally fall down
Sing for me, gyal
'Cause the weight of my world's in the palm of your hands now
But you don't know it
Me no know, me no know
My gyal, you like to know
You don't know it
Me no know, me no know
My gyal, you need to know
You don't know it
You don't even know it
Me no know, me no know
My gyal, you need to know
International flexin'
You don't even know it
You don't know it
In "Don't Know About You", WizKid is frustrated and confused about his relationship with his significant other. He questions her intentions and wonders if she truly cares about him. Despite feeling that he knows the truth about their relationship, he still doubts himself at times and is afraid of the pain he may feel when things fall apart.
WizKid feels that he puts a lot into the relationship and doesn't receive the same level of effort from his partner. He tries to maintain his composure, but his emotions get the best of him, and he can't help but feel hurt and frustrated with the situation.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "you don't know it" several times, which can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be that WizKid is saying that his partner doesn't understand how much she means to him, or he could be suggesting that she doesn't know what she's missing out on by not putting in more effort into the relationship.
Overall, "Don't Know About You" is a song about the uncertainty and fear that can come with being in a relationship, and the struggle to find balance and understanding with one's partner.
