Don't Want to Know
Unveiling Love's Secrets: Michael Cox's 'Don't Want to Know' Meaning
Lyrics
Don't want to know if you got any money
Expressing disinterest in the other person's financial status.
Don't want to know if you loved before
Indicating a lack of interest in the other person's romantic history.
All that I want is your heart, but it's funny
Desiring only the other person's heart, with a humorous note on the situation.
That you don't want to know
Pointing out the irony that the other person is not curious about the speaker.
Don't want to know nothing bad about you
Expressing a preference for ignorance regarding any negative information about the other person.
Don't want to know all about the past
Avoiding details about the other person's past experiences.
I think that I would go mad without you
Highlighting the speaker's emotional dependence on the other person.
But you don't want to know
Noting the other person's lack of interest in reciprocating emotional openness.
Try as I may I still hear you say
Reflecting on the persistent attempt to fulfill shared dreams.
My dreams were meant to be
Recalling the belief that the dreams were intended for both individuals.
You never show that you'd ever go
Pointing out the other person's reluctance to express commitment or devotion.
For me
Expressing the speaker's emotional vulnerability and desire for reciprocated feelings.
But wait and see
Encouraging patience and anticipation for a positive change in the relationship.
I'm gonna get you to love me forever
Expressing determination to secure lasting love from the other person.
I'm gonna get you to want me so
Asserting the desire to be wanted intensely by the other person.
I think that we should be always together
Suggesting a vision of a perpetual togetherness in the speaker's ideal relationship.
But you don't want to know
Reiterating the other person's resistance to engaging in deeper emotional connection.
