Don't Want You No More
Love's Farewell Symphony: Spencer Davis' Emotional Anthem
Lyrics
I'm through with you
I have ended my association with you
And your pretty golden hair
Referring to the person's physical appearance, particularly their attractive golden hair
Don't want to see you
Expressing the desire not to encounter the person anymore
'Round my door anymore
Emphasizing the wish for the person to stay away from one's dwelling
Ain't no use you making it up
Rejecting the person's attempts at reconciliation
I told you gal
Addressing the person directly, indicating that they have failed
And you've come unstuck
Describing the person as having faced consequences or difficulties
You be messin' me up
Accusing the person of causing confusion or trouble
Don't want you no more
Reiterating the rejection of the person
Don't want you no more
Repeated emphasis on not wanting the person anymore
Don't want your lovin', honey
Explicitly stating the lack of desire for the person's love
Don't want you no more.
Reinforcing the rejection of the person
You come around and you think
Commenting on the person's assumption that one is always available
That I'm always there
Asserting that the person takes availability for granted
Always was
Highlighting the lack of concern shown by the person
But you never seemed to care
Expressing the person's indifference towards the feelings of the speaker
Ridin' around with them other guys
Implies that the person is spending time with other romantic interests
You don't seem to realize
Noting the person's obliviousness to the speaker's emotions
That I'm all hung up on you
Declaring a strong emotional attachment to the person
Don't want you no more
Reiteration of the rejection of the person
Don't want you no more
Emphasizing the decision to exclude the person from one's life
Don't want your lovin', honey
Reiterating the lack of desire for the person's affection
Don't want you no more
Stating again the rejection of the person
I stayed out at night
Describing staying out at night, possibly avoiding the person
But I never seemed to sleep
Acknowledging difficulty in sleeping, possibly due to relationship troubles
Asked myself if you're worth
Questioning the value of investing money in the relationship
The money to keep
Contemplating the worthiness of the person in financial terms
I'm thinking of the good
Reflecting on positive moments shared with the person
Times that we had
Expressing surprise at the person's negative qualities
I never thought a gal
Noting the unexpected bad behavior of the person
Could be so bad
Conveying disappointment in the person's character
I can't help thinkin' to myself
Internal thoughts about the undesirability of the person
Don't want you no more
Repeating the refusal to have the person in one's life
Don't want you no more
Reiterating the decision to exclude the person
Don't want your lovin' honey
Restating the lack of interest in the person's love
Don't want you no more
Emphasizing once again the rejection of the person
Don't want you no more
Further confirmation of not wanting the person
Don't want you no more
Repeated rejection for emphasis
Don't want your lovin' honey
Once again stating the absence of desire for the person's affection
Don't want you no more
Final affirmation of rejecting the person
