Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Patience is a virtue, I ain't tryna hurt you
I need you to read between the lines
Calling me out and it's unfair (so unfair)
Told you I don't wanna go there
Swear that I can taste it, all your expectations
Rising up, I push 'em to the side
You know I'm down to go anywhere
But told you, I don't wanna go there

I think you feel good, yeah, I think you're so sweet
But you're taking this all too seriously
You can get close, but I won't, babe
Baby, look into my eyes

I don't wanna talk about love
I don't wanna talk about love
I just wanna keep us right here in the moment
Why you gotta go get lost in emotion?
I don't wanna talk about love
I don't wanna talk about love
I can make your dreams come true overnight, yeah
I'll do anything that you like
But I won't talk about love

I don't wanna talk about love
I don't got time to be lying like a rug
Hot as Taki, Kawasaki, I ride it, ride it
Anaconda, yeah, baby, put your hand in my pocket
I ain't got time to be lying out at no doorway
Shawty, this the way she tryna drown me, I might float away
Can you please tell me I'm in control today?
Sugar for the day, icy like the Eiffel tower, babe, yeah
Why you wanna talk about it all the time?
Keep it up over there, you gon' be mine
I see the way you vibin', keep me hypnotized and
Diamonds loud like sirens, oh

I don't wanna talk about love
(I don't wanna talk about love)
I don't wanna talk about love
I just wanna keep us right here in the moment
Why you gotta go get lost in emotion?
I don't wanna talk about love
(I don't wanna talk about love)
I don't wanna talk about love (oh no)
I can make your dreams come true overnight, yeah
I'll do anything that you like
But I won't talk about love

'Cause love always blows up in your face
And love always goes south in the worst ways
Yeah-eah-eah, yeah
But right now I'm blind in the headspace
And this ain't the time or place to bring it up to me
'Cause honestly, I'll walk away

I don't wanna talk about love
(I don't wanna talk about love)
I don't wanna talk about love
(I don't wanna talk about love)
I just wanna keep us right here in the moment (keep us right here, yeah)
Why you gotta go get lost in emotion?
I don't wanna talk about love
(I don't wanna talk about love)
I don't wanna talk about love
(I don't wanna talk about love)
I can make your dreams come true overnight, yeah
I'll do anything that you like
But I won't talk about love
I don't talk about love (I don't wanna)
I don't talk about love (don't wanna talk about love)
I can make your dreams come true overnight, yeah

I'll do anything that you like
But I won't talk about love

Line by Line Meaning

Patience is a virtue, I ain't tryna hurt you
I want you to understand that I value patience, and I have no intention of causing you pain

I need you to read between the lines
I want you to understand the hidden meaning behind my words

Calling me out and it's unfair (so unfair)
Accusing me without justification, it's unjust

Told you I don't wanna go there
I have already expressed that I am not willing to discuss that topic

Swear that I can taste it, all your expectations
I can sense the weight of your high hopes and desires

Rising up, I push 'em to the side
Although expectations are increasing, I try to ignore them

You know I'm down to go anywhere
I am willing to accompany you anywhere

But told you, I don't wanna go there
Again, I want to emphasize that I am not interested in going to that specific place or discussing that particular topic

I think you feel good, yeah, I think you're so sweet
I believe you are content, and I find you delightful

But you're taking this all too seriously
However, you are approaching this situation with excessive seriousness

You can get close, but I won't, babe
You can try to get closer to me emotionally, but I won't reciprocate

Baby, look into my eyes
Please, focus your gaze on my eyes to understand my sincerity

I don't wanna talk about love
I am not interested in discussing or delving into the subject of love

I just wanna keep us right here in the moment
I simply want us to remain fully present in the current moment

Why you gotta go get lost in emotion?
Why do you have to let yourself get consumed by emotions?

I can make your dreams come true overnight, yeah
I have the power to fulfill your aspirations quickly

I'll do anything that you like
I am willing to do whatever pleases you

But I won't talk about love
However, I refuse to engage in conversations regarding love

I don't got time to be lying like a rug
I don't have the time or inclination to constantly deceive

Hot as Taki, Kawasaki, I ride it, ride it
I am as fiery and exciting as the Taki and Kawasaki rides

Anaconda, yeah, baby, put your hand in my pocket
Just like an anaconda, I invite you to explore the depths of my desires

I ain't got time to be lying out at no doorway
I don't have the time to engage in meaningless and shallow encounters

Shawty, this the way she tryna drown me, I might float away
This woman's attempts to overwhelm me might lead me to detach and drift away

Can you please tell me I'm in control today?
Could you reassure me that I have power over my own destiny today?

Sugar for the day, icy like the Eiffel tower, babe, yeah
I provide sweetness for the day, and I am as cold as the Eiffel Tower, my dear

Why you wanna talk about it all the time?
Why are you so fixated on discussing it endlessly?

Keep it up over there, you gon' be mine
Continue with your persistent attitude, and you will become mine

I see the way you vibin', keep me hypnotized and
I notice the way you are connecting with me on a deep level, captivating and mesmerizing me

Diamonds loud like sirens, oh
The presence of diamonds is as attention-grabbing as sirens

'Cause love always blows up in your face
Because love often leads to heartbreak and disappointment

And love always goes south in the worst ways
And love typically ends in unfavorable and tragic circumstances

But right now I'm blind in the headspace
However, currently, I am emotionally consumed and unable to think clearly

And this ain't the time or place to bring it up to me
And this moment is not suitable for discussing it with me

'Cause honestly, I'll walk away
Because, to be honest, I will choose to leave if you insist on pursuing the topic

I don't talk about love (I don't wanna)
I actively avoid discussing love

I don't talk about love (don't wanna talk about love)
I refuse to engage in conversations about love

I can make your dreams come true overnight, yeah
I have the ability to fulfill your desires quickly

I'll do anything that you like
I am willing to do whatever makes you happy

But I won't talk about love
However, I will not engage in discussions about love
