Gotta Tell You Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Your love for me came as a waterfall
Flowin' inside me like never before
Your love for me, somethin' I didn't see
But baby, I know better now
When you walk in the room that very night
A special feelin' just burst inside
It was only you, nobody else
But baby, I know better now
Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now, but it wouldn't be
right
If I didn't tell you this tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And now you're back inside my house again
I'm tryin' deeper to explain
'Cause baby, I wanna get it on
And baby, you're the one for me
But now that I have got you all alone
After all this talkin' on the phone
I should be strong, there's nothing wrong
I'll tell you this is where you belong, where you
belong
Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now, but it wouldn't be
right
If I didn't tell you this tonight
Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now, but it wouldn't be
right
If I didn't tell you this tonight
It was just something in your eyes
That made me realize
But now I hear voices deep inside
Tellin' me, tellin' me
Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now, but it wouldn't be
right
If I didn't tell you this tonight
Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now, but it wouldn't be
right
If I didn't tell you this tonight
Meaning of Gotta Tell You
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this track’s all about a sudden, overwhelming attraction and the hesitant vulnerability of confessing feelings. Samantha Mumba captures that rush of new love with a “waterfall” of emotions, admitting she initially didn't recognize the depth of her connection until it burst forth, ignited by a specific moment. The repeated refrain – "Don’t wanna love you if you don’t love me" – reveals a fear of unrequited affection and a desire for mutual need. She craves intimacy and connection, symbolized by wanting to “get it on,” yet simultaneously expresses anxieties about dependency. Ultimately, the song is an honest declaration of newfound feelings, driven by an undeniable pull and a desperate hope that this special someone feels the same way, acknowledging she needs to finally say what’s been building inside – "it wouldn't be right if I didn't tell you this tonight.”
