Please Don't Go
Brown Boy Lyrics

I don't want you to go
Expressing a desire for the other person to remain present

Can't you stay right here by my side?
Request to keep the other person close

(Please don't go away)
Repeating the sentiment of wanting the other person to remain present

Doesn't matter what you do
Acknowledging that external circumstances don't affect their desire to be with the other person

All the money and the fame
Specifically citing two examples of things that might not matter

Baby, hear me when I say
Asking the other person to listen to what they are saying

Now I know that you know I'm always on the road
Acknowledging that the singer is often busy with work/travel

I'm always in the studio, I know what you're thinking
Further describing their busy lifestyle and preempting their partner's worries

I'm messing with these hoes but I ain't got time
Denying any potential infidelity and prioritizing their work

The truth about it, baby, I'm just trying to get dough
Admitting that their motivation is to earn more money for their shared future

So we can have a better life, girl
Explaining the reason for their hard work

In the end, it's gonna be alright
Assuring their partner of a positive outcome

If we can make it through the struggles
Acknowledging that their relationship will face challenges

We can make it through the fights
Confident that they will resolve any arguments

You gotta keep your head up and listen
Encouraging their partner to stay positive and open-minded

When I say, listen, please don't go away
Requesting their partner's attention once again

'Coz I need you to stay, I need you to believe
Stating their own emotional needs and emphasizing their desire for their partner to trust them

And put your trust in me, forget about the past
Encouraging their partner to move on from any previous issues

Just ride with me, I don't want you to go
Asking their partner to stay on this journey with them

So hold me tight and don't let go
Physical expression of their desire to remain close

You ain't gotta be scared, I ain't going nowhere
Assuring their partner that they will not leave

So for the rest of my life, I'll be here with you
Promising a commitment to their partner

Just listen to this song, it's dedicated to you
Inviting their partner to take a deeper meaning from the lyrics

For everything you've done and everything you do
Appreciating their partner's contributions to the relationship

You're working 9 to 5 so you could provide
Recognizing the sacrifices their partner makes

You did what you had to do so we could survive
Acknowledging that their partner is an essential part of their success

I give you all the credit, girl 'coz you keep me alive
Expressing gratitude and admiration for their partner

'Coz I need you to stay, every night I pray
Emphasizing their dependence on their partner and their prayers for their continuing presence

I'm hoping for the better days, praying that you'll always stay
Expressing their hope for a happy future with their partner

Girl, don't you leave my side
Impassioned plea for their partner to stay

Just give me some time so I can make it right
Asking for patience as they strive to make things better

You were there with for me, baby, before I made a name
Recognizing their partner's loyalty and commitment before they achieved success

Girl, for that reason my love will never change
Promising that their love is genuine and unchanging

No matter the money, no matter the fame
Repeating that external factors have no impact on their love

The way I feel about you will remain the same
Underscoring their commitment to their partner

Through the good and the bad
Acknowledging that there will be ups and downs in the relationship

Through the thick and the thin
Further emphasizing their commitment

I'm gonna love you, baby 'til the very end
Declaring their intention to love their partner forever

Just take my hand and follow my lead
Offering their guidance and leadership in the relationship

I put it on my life, you're all that I need
Swearing that their partner is the most important thing in their life
