One Direction: I Want Meaning

Song Released: 2012



I Want Lyrics

Give you this, give you that
Blow a kiss, take it back
If I look inside your brain
I would find lots of things
Clothes, shoes, diamond rings
Stuff that's driving me insane

You could be preoccupied
Different date, every night
You just...

    It's about how much they don't like a girl who date guys just for what they would give them from shoes to diamond rings but in the same time they're talking about how they can't see through this wall because they love them and they're telling them that they wanna be loved by them for who they are not for what they would give them.

    I think it's about girls who only want materials.the guy is trying his hardest and loves her but all she wants is money and materials. I think it's also telling how much they hate people like that.

    Her love for his guy is her love for how much money he has, or the things he can give to her. Personally, I think he is starting to realise that she is using him for his money. She doesn't love him for... well him! :(

    He is pretty much fed up with the fact that girls base love on material items. He knows that the love coming from this girl is not real, that she only likes him for the things he gives her (well, the things she asks for). He says that he doesnt want these material things like she does, he just wants her true love. Hope this helped, because im right lol

    It's about a girl who wants everything for example when someone says I want this or if I get it I will love you forever then they get it and arent satisfied with it. So basically girls that wants materials instead of love

    I think it's about a boy and he is really sick of paying and getting his girlfriend the stuff she wants.

    It means that a girl is only staying with him because of how many materiel things she gets from him. There relationship is only depending on things she wants, not love.

    I think it's about this girl being in a relationship with this boy only because he buys her clothes and fasion and whatever she wants, and she's being spoilt. it drives the guy crazy because she doesn't love him for who he is.

    this is my favourite song on the album, and i love it because it has a true meaning and a lot of girls are like this and i find it annoying too and i'll never be like that ever in my life.


    LUV YOU 1D :)

    His girlfriend is dating him for money so that she can get what she wants. He finds out about it and brakes up with her.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    it means that some girls want it all..clothes, shoes, diamond rings..but they still want to be loved. Its talking about a spoiled girl who wants to be loved even though the relationship is "you give me more, i love you more". The line "stuuf thats driving me insane" shows how big of a turn-off materialism is. Boys hate the I Want It All factor

    Its about how they they dont like girls who rely on materials because nothing can give you love but well.. love. But now that line in zayn's part 'you want you want you want me to love you too.' indicates that she really does want love.

    This song talks about how girls only want materials and don't realize what they really have with a guy. My favorite sentence is “If I changed the world for you I bet you wouldn't have a clue” because a guy can do only so much, but were so obsessed with “clothes, shoes, and dimond rings” that we slowly push them away without knowing we are. This song has meaning to me because I don't want to be that girl.
    It's basically about them singing about how they don't like materialism, and how it's a turn-off having girls requiring items as a symbol for their love. Like, the guy that gives me the most, is the one who loves me the most.
    Her love for his boyfriend depends on how many or what is the cost of all the things he's giving to her.

    its just about a girl who depends on her boyfriend to buy her everything and she really just cant seem to be satisfied with anything he gives her and she pretty much only likes him for his money so its basically talking about a gold digger who cares about no one but herself and material as when harry say "if i look inside your brain i would find lots of things clothes shoes diamond rings"

    From the outside, it seems like girls only want material things and that only that makes them happy
    but in reality, they need and want love
    the boys are saying how they can't stand materialism and they know the girls just want to be loved.

    But, it's also about that they can see through that wall, because they know that deep down inside, the girl just wants to be loved.

    I think its about someone who wants them to love her but doesnt show much appreciation towards them and goes out with a load of other people.....
