Will But You Won't
Love's Paradox: Willing But Withholding
Lyrics
You will but you won't, you do but you don't
You exhibit contradictory behavior - saying one thing but doing another.
The more that you say, you don't do it anyway
Your words don't align with your actions; there's inconsistency in your behavior.
You know that you don't
A reminder that the person is aware of their own inconsistencies.
Ooh, you've got it in for me, you always did anyway
Suggesting a history of animosity or negative feelings towards the speaker.
It's a sin to me
The situation or relationship is morally wrong or harmful.
Guilty or not, it's time that I got myself out of here
The speaker feels it's time to distance themselves from the negativity.
Caress me baby, slap me my face
An expression of desire for both affection and conflict.
Ooh, don't hurt me baby
Pleading not to be harmed emotionally.
You're big but you're bad, like something I had
You may be physically imposing, but your nature is not good.
Sensitive words they get on my nerves, it's driving me mad
Words meant to be comforting are causing distress.
You made a mess of my heart
Your actions have caused significant emotional damage.
You will but you won't, you do but you don't
Reiteration of the contradictory nature in words and actions.
You will but you won't, you do but you don't
(Repetition of the theme of inconsistency)
I need your hands running over me
Expressing a desire for physical touch.
I like the way that it feels - without a sound, hey baby help
The speaker enjoys the tactile sensation without verbal communication.
I need your hands running over me
Reiteration of the desire for physical closeness.
I like the way that it feels
The pleasure derived from physical contact is appreciated.
I need your hands running over me
Repetition of the longing for tactile connection.
I like the way that it feels
Emphasizing the satisfaction derived from physical touch.
You will but you won't, you do but you don't
Restating the inconsistency in words and actions.
You go yes and it's no
Your affirmation can quickly turn into denial.
I don't till I know where and which way to go
Uncertainty about the direction to take in the relationship.
Put a gun to me and to the way that I feel
Intense emotions that may be overwhelming.
I'm gonna get out of the way
A declaration of intent to remove oneself from the situation.
Can't you hear what I, hear what I say yeah!
A plea to be heard and understood.
I want to make up your mind
Desire for a clear decision from the other person.
I want to rearrane it babe
Expressing a wish to rearrange or improve the situation.
You got me mind!
A declaration of being deeply affected by the situation.
