I Don't Want You Now Lyrics

Show me what it is you've done
Pull the covers off in front of everyone
So you want us all to see
What you created for yourself in spite of me

You can try to tie me down
You can try to string me up
But you have no luck now
Please don't ever let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be my friend again
Cause I don't want you, I don't want you now
I don't want you now

So now you learned to make your bed
Far be it from me to be the one to pat your head
Truth is, you know, I could have pulled you home
But you already advertised that I had slashed the tires
Of your one man show

You can try to tie me down
You can try to stitch me up
But you have no luck now
Please don't ever let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be my friend again
Cause I don't want you, I don't want you now
I don't want you now

I don't want you now...
Truth is that I could have pulled you out, oh

You can try to tie me down
You can try to string me up
But you have no luck now
Please don't ever let me down again
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me frown again
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be my friend again
Cause I don't want you, I don't want you now
I don't want you now

I'm not very good at meanings, until Ive heard the song a few times. Only just bought the album, so i need a bit more time. But I have fallen in love with this track already. Because to me, right now, I DONT WANT YOU NOW, means sooooo much. after a rather rough weekend of seeing the ex. But anyway, I love KT's voice.

I think the words are

So now you learned to make your bed Far be it from me to be the one to pat your head

it's a great song! aAh!

I am not sure but I think it is about a guy that she was dating and he told someone that he was dating KT.

and we all know what happens if you're famous and in love: the papparazi keep stalking you.

I think thats what these lines mean:

"Show me what it is you've done Pull the covers off in front of everyone So you want us all to see What you created for yourself in spite of me"

I think it's about a messy break up, and he told everyone that it was her fault (But you already advertised that I had slashed the tires, Of your one man show) But she knows that it was his fault (Show me what it is you've done, Pull the covers off in front of everyone) And now he has someone else (So now you learned to make your bed) and she's just getting over the relationship.

Thats my idea anyways.

Break-up song! I think the song kind of explains itself. You're done with them, you don't want to see them, they only make you unhappy.

I'm just spitballing here, but I get the vaguest inkling that maybe she doesn't want someone anymore, largely through her used of the words "You" "I" "Want" "Don't" and "Now". But who knows, it could mean something completely different...
