I Don't Like You
Unrequited Disinterest: I Don't Like You
Lyrics
She's just a girl I know
Referring to a girl the speaker knows
And my heart doesn't melt
Expressing a lack of emotional response
When I'm with her although
Indicating indifference when with the girl
Ask other guys, they will say
Suggesting others find her attractive
Hey, yeah she's pretty hot
Acknowledging her physical appeal
I on the other hand think that you're not
Expressing personal disagreement with her attractiveness
I don't like you, I don't love you
Clearly stating dislike and absence of love
I just happened to stare your way
Noting an accidental gaze in her direction
And if you talk to me, I've got nothing to say
Asserting a lack of conversational interest
There's butterflies in my stomach
Metaphorically describing nervousness around her
It's their natural habitat
Humorously attributing nervousness to butterflies
I learned that off the internet
Claiming knowledge gained from the internet
Are you impressed by that
Questioning if this fact impresses the girl
Not that I care
Expressing indifference to her potential impression
She's just a girl whose eyes
Describing the girl's eyes without much fascination
Don't dazzle me in the slightest
Downplaying the impact of her gaze
And her smile is alright
Mildly praising her smile
Ask other guys, they will say
Highlighting others' willingness to do anything for her
Hey, I'll do anything for that girl
Expressing personal reluctance to do things for her
I on the other hand would tell her
Suggesting she should handle tasks herself
To do it herself
Repeating the dislike and lack of love
I don't like you, I don't love you
Reiterating the accidental gaze without emotional attachment
I just happened to stare your way
Reaffirming the lack of conversational interest
And if you talk to me, I've got nothing to say
Recalling the metaphorical butterflies and internet fact
There's butterflies in my stomach
Restating nervousness due to butterflies
It's their natural habitat
Repeating the source of knowledge about butterflies
I learned that off the internet
Repeating the question about impressing with internet knowledge
Are you impressed by that
Reiterating indifference to the girl's potential impression
Not that I care
Reaffirming the lack of concern for her opinion
I don't like you
Declaring a straightforward dislike
No I don't
Repeating the direct dislike
Shut up, shut up
Commanding someone to be silent
Shut up, shut up
Repeating the command to be quiet
Shut up
Emphasizing the instruction to be silent
