Don't Say You Love Me is a song from the soundtrack of the first movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back. It is performed by the group M2M, whose members (Marion Raven and Marit Larsen) also co-wrote the song.

Lyrics

<ab>Got introduced to you by a friend You were cute and all that Baby you set the trend Yes you did! The next thing I know We're down at the cinema We're sitting there You said you love me, what's that about?

You're moving too fast, don't understand you! I'm not ready yet, baby I can't pretend No I can't Best I can do is tell you to talk to me It's possible eventual love will find a way!

Don't say you love me You don't even know me If you really want me Then give me some time Don't go there baby Not before I'm ready Don't say your heart's in a hurry It's not like we're gonna get married! Give me, give me, some time!

Here's how to play, here's how I stand! Here what's to prove to get any further then where it's been I'll make it clear, not gonna tell you twice Take it slow, quit pushing me, you're pushing me away! (Pushing me away!)

Don't say you love me You don't even know me If you really want me Then give me some time (Give me some time!) Don't go there baby Not before I'm ready Don't say your heart's in a hurry It's not like we're gonna get married! Give me, give me, some time!

Alternate version

There are two versions of this song. In the version that appears in the movie, the line used before "what's that about?" is "you said you love me". In non-Pokémon contexts, the line is "you start kissin' me".
