Don't Go Yet
Camila Cabello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, my love, oh, yeah, yeah
I'm in love, yeah

I replayed this moment for months
Alone in my head waitin' for it to come
I wrote all your lines in the script in my mind
And I'd hoped that you'd follow it for once

I imagined myself in satin, the room was platinum and gold
I'd dance and catch your eye, you'd be mesmerized, oh
We'd find a corner there, your hands in my hair
Finally we're here, so why
Sayin' you got a flight, need an early night? No
Don't go yet

Oh yeah, don't go yet
Don't go yet
Oh yeah, don't go yet
Don't go yet
Oh yeah, don't go yet
Don't go yet
What you leavin' for, when my night is yours?
Just a little more, don't go yet

Baby, don't go yet 'cause I wore this dress for a little drama
And I bet, I bet that you think that you know, but you don't, baby, come to mama
I get, I get what I want when I want, and I get it how I wanna-wanna
And I want you, baby, gotta get you, baby

We'd find a corner there, your hands in my hair
Finally we're here, so why
Sayin' you got a flight, need an early night, no
Don't go yet

Oh yeah, don't go yet
Don't go yet
Oh yeah, don't go yet
Don't go yet
Oh yeah, don't go yet
Don't go yet
What you leavin' for, when my night is yours?
Just a little more, don't go yet

Dámelo
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (don't go yet)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (don't go yet)

(Oh-no-no, don't leave yet)
(No te vayas, quédate) dale
(Oh-no-no, don't leave yet) ahora voy yo
(No te vayas, quédate)
(Oh-no-no, don't leave yet) stay a little longer
(No te vayas, quédate) know you really wanna
(Oh-no-no, don't leave yet) stay a little longer
(No te vayas, quédate) oh

Oh, yeah, don't go yet
Don't go yet (oh)
Oh, yeah, don't go yet
Don't go yet (oh, don't go yet)
Oh, yeah, don't go yet
Don't go yet (oh)
What you leavin' for, when my night is yours?
Just a little more
What you leavin' for, when my night is yours?
Yours, yours
What you leavin' for, when my night is yours?
Just a little more, don't go yet

Overall Meaning

"Don't Go Yet" is a song by Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello. The lyrics describe her longing for a person to stay with her for just a little bit longer as they have finally found each other after she has spent months imagining their first encounter. She replays the scene again and again in her mind, picturing herself in a beautiful satin dress, dancing with the person who has caught her eye. She is frustrated when the person says they have to leave, and she begs them to stay just a little bit longer. The chorus is catchy and captivating, with the repetition of "don't go yet" emphasizing her desperation for them not to leave.


The song's lyrics are sultry and playful, and they juxtapose with the upbeat and percussive Latin-inspired music. The song is an ode to dancing, with the rhythm of the music making it almost impossible to sit still. The horns, drums, and trumpets create a lively atmosphere, and they blend together to create a unique sound that perfectly complements the lyrics.


The song's music video is reminiscent of the colorful and vibrant world of Havana, where Cabello was born. The video features colorful outfits, scenes of dancing, and intriguing camera angles.
