Lately every morning when I wake
Tired of lookin' at this lazy face
Sleepin' in the bed that I paid for
Used to have a job but he don't no more
Said that he got big plans for me
Can I move in till I get on my feet
But it's been a year and 3 months passed
Gotta show me somethin'
'cause I don't want to give up on you, man

I don't want to give up now (no no no no)
I don't want to throw the towel (no)
I don't want to waste all of this time
That we've been together now (together now)
I don't want to turn my back on you (my back on you)
Don't want to do what my girls say do (what my girls say do)
I don't want to
I don't want to (I don't wanna)
I don't want to (no)

Work all day then when I get home
I want to spend some time with my man alone
DVD or some BET
Dinner for two, just you and me
Honey's at the gym playing basketball
Cellphone rings now he's at the mall
Shoppin' is a must when the bills are paid
So I don't need to tell you baby just hear me when I say

I don't want to give up now (oh no I don't)
I don't want to throw the towel (man I don't)
I don't want to waste all of this time (this time)
That we've been together now (together now
I don't want to turn my back on you (on you)
Don't want to do what my girls say do
(don't want to do, don't want to do)
I don't want to (oh oh)
I don't want to (no)
I don't want to

Now baby you know that I love you
More than anything (you know I do baby)
And yes I know that in your heart
You love me just the same
And together we can do better
Just like we talked about (yes we talked about it)
But you need to keep the words that you said
Or I can do just as good by myself

I don't want to give up now (don't' want to give up on you)
I don't want to throw the towel (all I want is you)
I don't want to waste all of this time
That we've been together now (ain't nobody else for me)
I don't want to turn my back on you (oh no)
Don't want to do what my girls say do
(they don't know what we've been through baby)
I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
(I ain't gon' give up on you)

I don't want to give up now
(oh no no no)
I don't want to throw the towel
(don't want to give up on you baby)
I don't want to waste all of this time
(don't want to waste)
That we've been together now
(so many good good times)
I don't want to turn my back on you
(always been together baby)
Don't want to do what my girls say do
(always stay together baby)
I don't want to
I don't want to
(and I want to stay together baby)
I don't want to

(just hear me now) mm mm mm
(hope you hear me now) mm mm mm mm
(you better hear me) now mhmhm mm mm mm

Overall Meaning

The song "I Don't Mind" by Wyatt is a song about a woman who is tired of her boyfriend not living up to his potential. The opening lines describe her frustration with waking up every day to his lazy face, as he no longer has a job and has been living with her for over a year. She has been patient, but she expresses that she needs to see some sort of progress from him. She doesn't want to give up on him, but she also doesn't want to waste any more time if he's not going to make an effort to improve.


The second verse of the song touches on the couple's lack of quality time together. The woman is looking forward to spending time with her man after a long day of work, but he is always busy with other things like basketball at the gym or shopping at the mall. She yearns for them to spend quality time together, just the two of them. She loves him and wants to make things work, but she needs him to live up to his words and make an effort.


The chorus of the song repeatedly states that the woman does not want to give up on her man. She loves him and wants to make things work, but she needs to see effort and progress. She doesn't want to turn her back on him or listen to what her friends advise her to do. The song ends with the woman making it clear that she loves her man, but she can also do just fine on her own if he doesn't start making an effort.
