Save Me From U
Dawn Richard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don’t care what they say, I’m in love
There ain’t enough money in the world
Boy together I get high, smooches, our lips lock
Together I get high, get high

So you want a black Porsche, knew I was in love
Come on up a brown skin, yea give it up
Fell so hard, won’t you come and pick me up?
Had a taste once and I can’t get enough
Mesmerized by the green in yo eyes
Takin it back by the swag in yo stry
I done got picked up by the love boat
Eat it up, go hard with yo love girl

(Chorus)
I don’t care what they say, I’m in love
There ain’t enough money in the world
Boy together I get high, smooches, our lips lock
Together I get high, get high
Nothing can keep me from you
Nothing can keep me from you
Keep me from you, keep me from you

You know that thief in the night
Stole my heart so you better treat it right
I ain’t even wanna listen what my friends say
‘Cause I know that it’s all just jealousy
Is it punched or glow
Or could it just be infatuation?
Uh, whatever that is
Time will tell, I don’t care, let’s live
For the nightless world, alien love, wanna be your girl
Milk chaser, stumbling,
When I get next to you I’m mumbling
If a chick try to step up we rumbling
Want a future with you like remember boy

[Chorus]

You’re so much more than a crush
I’m down like the Chevy on dubs
On lock, by the pioneer cuffs
Your house is my home, let me get my stuff
I’m sick, don’t need no medicine
Cupid shot me in the heart, veteran
I’m gone, ain’t no point of back your cold flow
Let’s make it last

[Chorus]

Nothing can keep me from you

I don’t care what they say, I’m in love
There ain’t enough money in the world
Boy together I get high, smooches, our lips lock




Together I get high, get high
Nothing can keep me from you

You can hear the influence Brandy has on these vocalists, from the layering of vocals to the riffs and runs...its beautiful

Adam Devereaux

It's actually less Brandy and more Bjork, who Brandy has been a big fan of and studied for YEARS. Bjork is also one of Dawn's favorites.

I don't understand why she always have a little bit of views on all of her videos because she has amazing songs

Maybe because she doesn't want to sell her soul for money and fame. She wants only her talent to take her to the top. The music industry now is not what it was back in the 90s where talent takes u to the top.

Tammie Page

Not everybody likes it you have to realize just because you think is amazing and I think it’s amazing amazing to me everybody thinks it’s amazing everybody likes different kind of music and that’s cool
