Please Don't Go
Boyz II Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey baby I'm sorry
I never meant to hurt you
Please don't go
Slowly my eyes began to see
That I need you near right with me at all times, yeah
My feelings are so deep for you
That I won't let go, oooh no, of you
I can't let this love (slip away)
And I can't turn it around (you will see)
And only then

Please don't go away from me
(I'll be there for you)
When you call my name (call my name)
I'll reach out my hand to you
(And I'll welcome you)
To my heart (my future my heart)
Please don't go away from me
We can work it out
Whatever it may be girl
Please don't go (no, no, no, no, no, please don't go)

You know, It's not often that we see each other
That's why I cherish every moment that we spent each other

When you're away, temptation may come
Above of when I get caught up (by you)
Above of when I get caught up (by you)
Above of when I get caught up (by you)

I let go
Thinking about you each day
I feel (I love you and I'll never let go) Your love makes my head spin
round and round in a daze, yeah oh baby

I can't let this love (slip away)
And I can't turn it around (you will see)
And only then

Please don't go away from me
(I'll be there for you)
When you call my name (call my name)
I'll reach out my hand to you
(And I'll welcome you)
To my heart (my future my heart)
Please don't go away from me
We can work it out
Whatever it may be girl
Please don't go (no, no, no, no, no, please don't go)

Please don't go away
I'll be there, I'll be right there
I'll be there, I'll be right there
I'll be there, I'll be right there
I'll be there, I'll be right there

I'll be there, I'll be right there




I'll be there, I'll be right there
I'll be there, I'll be right there

I'm 43 and think this is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. This is up there with Issac Hayes "Walk On By", Stevie Wonder/Mary J. Blige (version) of "Overjoyed", LTD "Concentrate On You", S.O.S. Band "Do You Still Care" and a few others.
