Don't Go
Awesome 3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cannot bear to see you leave me
I'm begging you, don't go (Begging you don't go)
I cannot bear to see you leave me
I'm begging you, don't go (Begging you don't go)

And though you tell me that you love me
Sometimes I just don't know (I just don't know)
I cannot bear to see you leave me
I'm begging you, don't go (Begging you don't go)

I cannot bear to see you leave me
I'm begging you, don't go (Begging you don't go)
I cannot bear to see you leave me
I'm begging you, don't go (Begging you don't go)

And though you tell me that you love me
Sometimes I just don't know (I just don't know)
I cannot bear to see you leave me
I'm begging you, don't go (Begging you don't go)

And though you tell me that you love
And though you tell me that you love
And though you tell me that you love
And though you tell me that you love
And though you tell me that you love

And though you tell me that you love
And though you tell me that you love
And though you tell me that you love
(That you love, that you love, that you love)





Don't Go

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Go" by Awesome 3 feat. Julie is a plea to a loved one to stay and not leave. The repeated lines "I cannot bear to see you leave me, I'm begging you, don't go" express the desperation that the singer feels at the prospect of being left alone. Perhaps the person they're singing to has already given them reason to doubt their affection, as they say "though you tell me that you love me, sometimes I just don't know". Despite this, the singer is still willing to try and make things work, to keep the relationship going, and to keep the other person close.


It's interesting to note that the song has a very cheerful and upbeat sound, with a driving beat and happy synth melodies. This initially creates a contrast with the sad and pleading lyrics, which makes the song somewhat bittersweet. It could be interpreted as a reflection of the singer's wish to hold onto some happy memories of the relationship, even as they fear it's ending.


Another interesting aspect of the song is that it features a sample from the Chic song "Good Times". This sample was used without permission and initially caused some controversy, but eventually led to an official remix version of the song being released with Nile Rodgers' blessing.


Other potential interpretations of the song's lyrics include seeing it as a commentary on the difficulty of communicating emotions in a relationship, or on the ways we often take the people we love for granted. The repetition of the lines at the end of the song may be a way of emphasizing the importance of verbalizing our feelings and making sure we don't leave any doubts or unspoken needs between us.


Overall, "Don't Go" is a classic example of a dance track that combines catchy hooks and a danceable beat with meaningful and emotionally resonant lyrics.
