No, I Don't Want Her
Heartache Harmony: Nat King Cole's Ode to Love's Bittersweet Lessons
Lyrics
No-o-o, I don't want her
Expressing a strong negative response to the mentioned person.
So I'll forget her
Deciding to move on and not dwell on the person.
Forget the love she gave me
Choosing to forget the affection and care received from her.
Somehow
Acknowledging a newfound understanding or wisdom.
I've learned my lesson
Having learned a valuable lesson from the experience.
Don't have to tell me
Asserting self-awareness and independence.
'Cause I'm gonna start forgettin'
Committing to the process of forgetting.
Yes, I'm gonna start forgettin'
Emphasizing the determination to move on immediately.
Right now
Stating the intention to start forgetting right away.
Go on, take my share
Encouraging the person to take their share in the separation.
'Cause I don't want her
Reiterating the lack of desire for the mentioned person.
And now, she's gone, good riddance, goodbye
Celebrating the departure of the person with a sense of relief.
But what my friends don't know
Revealing a hidden truth about still loving the departed person.
Is that I love her so
Expressing the depth of affection despite the outward appearance.
And in my lonely room all day
Describing a state of intense loneliness and sorrow.
I cry
Admitting to emotional pain through crying in solitude.
Go-o on and take her
Encouraging the person to take the departed one.
'Cause I don't want her
Reaffirming the lack of desire for the mentioned person.
I know I'll find another
Expressing confidence in finding another person.
Find another
Reiterating the anticipation of finding a new partner.
Somewhere
Asserting the determination not to pursue the mentioned person.
No, I don't want her
Restating the lack of interest in the departed person.
She's not my kind now
Declaring a mismatch in compatibility.
And if she's got somebody else
Indicating indifference towards the possibility of her having someone else.
Oh, really got somebody else
Emphasizing the certainty of her having another partner.
I don't care
Expressing a lack of concern about her new relationship.
To think that my love
Reflecting on the pain of a departing loved one.
Could say "Goodbye, love"
Contemplating the possibility of the departed person saying goodbye.
And leave me here, as low as the ground
Feeling abandoned and emotionally low.
But no one knows but me
Keeping the depth of emotions hidden from others.
What she means to me
Recognizing the personal significance of the departed person.
And when I'm by myself
Reflecting on the impact of her absence when alone.
All day I sigh
Expressing a prolonged state of sorrow through sighing.
'Cause without her...
Highlighting the difficulty of living without her.
I could lay me down
Describing a state of extreme emotional distress.
And die
Expressing the depth of emotional pain and a desire for release.
