Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, I can't stand
I can't stand the decide of your leaving me
I know I did you wrong baby
Girl, my heart is full of sorrow
But I believe if you stay, things will be better tommorow
I can't stand
No, I just can't stand
I can't stand the decide of your leaving me
So, put that suitcase down baby
And let's you and me just sit around
Talk it over, yeah
You're just like the air baby
You're like the air I breath
You're everything, everything to me
Girl, I can't stand

So, put that suitcase down momma
And let's you and me just sit around
And talk it over, yeah

Baby please, don't leave me
Don't leave me
Your'e the mean, mean of, meaning of my life
