Now, baby
Don't, don't do me wrong
Hey
Don't, don't do me wrong

Now, baby
Don't, don't do me wrong
Hey
Tired of walking around again
I feel I'm in okay
Want to be another man
I'll see you once again
Going through another dream
My life is on again
Climbing through the other Earth
I see your life again
Yeah

Here I go, I lost again
I see I'm not in charge
Riding through the melody
I laugh before the joke
I'm gone, I think another dream
I'll see you once again
Take me from another life
And call me through the ground
Yeah

Cherrie Vangelder-Smith’s “Don’t” seems like a song about a relationship that’s gone sour, and the singer warns their partner not to wrong them any further. The repeated refrain of “Don’t, don’t do me wrong” is the main highlight of the song, conveying the request of the singer to their partner. The chorus also mentions that the love shared between them has had a positive impact, making the singer feel strong.
The verses of the song could be interpreted in many ways as there’s a lack of context to the situation. However, the lyrics mention a feeling of wanting change and becoming someone else. There also seems to be a departure from reality, with the singer potentially losing themselves in a dream or their own thoughts. This could hint at the emotional turmoil the singer is going through with their partner.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of frustration and the desire for change in a damaged relationship. The singer doesn’t want to be wronged any further and wants to continue feeling strong, but it’s unclear if the relationship can be salvaged.
