Don't Pull Your Love
Dave Sam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears
You say you're gonna leave
Gonna fly right out of here
Without a single word
but you know you'll break my heart
When I watch you close that door
Cause I know I won't see you anymore
Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears
Haven't I been good to you
What about that brand new ring
Doesn't that mean love to you
Doesn't that mean anything
If I threw away my pride
And I got down on my knees
Would I have to beg you, "pretty please"
Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears
There's so much I wanna do
I've got love enough for two
But I'll never use it girl if I don't have you
Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears
The song “Don’t Pull Your Love” by Dave Sam is about a man pleading with his partner not to end their relationship. The first verse talks about the consequences of the partner leaving him. He is so devastated that he will just lay down and cry for a hundred years if his partner were to go. The man is begging his partner not to leave him, saying that he can take his heart, soul, and money, but he does not want to be left alone to drown in his tears. The second verse indicates that the man has knowledge of his partner's intentions to leave. She plans to leave without saying anything, which will break his heart. He will no longer have the chance to see her anymore, which will be a source of great pain for him.
The man reminds his partner of all the ways he has been good to her in the bridge, asking if the new ring he gave her means anything to her. He pleads with her, even saying he would get on his knees begging her to stay. The chorus is a repetitive plea for his partner not to leave, stating he would rather let her take everything he has rather than be left alone in such sorrow.

Don't pull your love out on me baby
Please don't end our relationship suddenly and without warning
If you do then I think that maybe
If you do that, then I'll be very sad and upset
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
I'll be so heartbroken that I'll feel like crying for an impossibly long time
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Please don't end our relationship suddenly and without warning, my dear
Take my heart, my soul, my money
You can have all of me and everything I have if you stay with me
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears
Please don't make me feel helpless and overwhelmed with sadness
You say you're gonna leave
You've told me that you plan to end our relationship
Gonna take that big white bird
You're going to take a plane
Gonna fly right out of here
You're going to leave this place quickly
Without a single word
You won't say goodbye or explain why you're leaving
but you know you'll break my heart
You're aware that your departure will hurt me deeply
When I watch you close that door
When I see you leave and shut the door behind you
Cause I know I won't see you anymore
I'm fully aware that I won't be able to see you again after you leave
Haven't I been good to you
Haven't I treated you well and been a good partner to you
What about that brand new ring
Doesn't the ring I've given you as a symbol of my love mean anything to you
Doesn't that mean love to you
Isn't that a clear indication of the love I feel for you
Doesn't that mean anything
Isn't that important to you, or does it not matter at all
If I threw away my pride
If I gave up my ego and self-respect
And I got down on my knees
And begged you for your forgiveness and love
Would I have to beg you, "pretty please"
Would I have to plead with you in a desperate and unattractive way
There's so much I wanna do
I have so many hopes and dreams for our future together
I've got love enough for two
I can provide enough love for both of us
But I'll never use it girl if I don't have you
But my love won't be enough if I can't share it with you
