ANNIKA - I Really Don't Want To (Official Music Video)

“I Really Don’t Want To” combines ANNIKA's love of descriptive lyrics and unique melodies with a heavy hitting musical jam. Originally inspired by a line from a Hollywood movie, the song expresses a message of empowerment while at the same time, describes the intoxicating, impossible to understand feeling of falling in love. ANNIKA's bluesy, sultry vocals are accompanied by a powerful, instrumental arrangement that makes the song shine.

LYRICS
I could pretend this kiss isn't what it is
Act like there's no spark between us
Tell my heart to stop goin' wild when I see ya smile
Like I don't love to see it

I could say we're moving too fast
Say goodnight and call myself a cab
Hold back what I'm dying to do
But I really don't want to

I could hang out at home, slip into a robe
Spend some time alone on a Friday
Pour some bubbles in my bath, wine in my glass
Strike a match, put on some Coltrane

Read a book I already read
Just to get you out of my head
But I might as well be singing the blues
Cause I really don't want to

I really don't want to
Cause baby I want you
So I really don't want to
Yeah

I can eat, I can sleep, I can breathe without you
Boy don't get me wrong
I can stand on my own, I could live life alone
If that's what I had to do
But I really don't want to

I really don't want to
Cause baby I want you
So I really don't want to
Yeah

I can eat, I can sleep, I can breathe without you
Yeah
Don't get me wrong
I can stand on my own I could live life alone
If that's what I had to do
But I really don't want to

I can eat, I can sleep, I can breathe without you
Oh don't get me wrong
I can stand on my own, I could live life alone
If that's what I had to do
But I really don't want to
