Don't Go
Boobytrax Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came in from the city, walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Love's just like addiction, now I'm hooked on you
I need some time to get it right, oh, your love's gonna see me through

Can't stop livin', don't you know?
I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go
Can't stop livin', don't you know?

I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go

Oh, baby, make your mind up, give me what you got
Fix me with your lovin', shut the door and turn the lock
Hey, go get the doctor, doctor came too late
Another night, I feel alright, my love for you can't wait

Can't stop livin', don't you know?
I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go
Can't stop livin', don't you know?
I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go

Came in from the city, I walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Said he was a killer, now I know it's true
I'm dead when you walk out the door, hey babe, I'm hooked on you

Can't stop livin', don't you know?
I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go
Can't stop livin', don't you know?
I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go

Can't stop livin', don't you know?
I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go

Can't stop livin', don't you know?
I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go
