Leave Her Alone
Donnie Owens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tired of making dates for me
I think you look a little stupid
Leave her alone she'll come to me
Yes I do like the things you're doing
I'll win her love eventually
You'll only make our life a ruin
She'll come to me on her own
All I want is the time
For my arms to hold her so tight
And if she feels the way I do
Then I won't have to worry
'Cause everything'll be alright
Don't bother trying to make her your girl
On your way, let us be
You'll find she still belongs in my world
Leave her alone she'll come to me
She'll come to me on her own
All I want is the time
For my arms to hold her so tight
And if she feels the way I do
Then I won't have to worry
'Cause everything'll be alright
Don't bother trying to make her your girl
On your way, let us be
You'll find she still belongs in my world
Leave her alone she'll come to me
Leave her alone she'll come to me
Leave her alone she'll come to me
The song "Leave Her Alone" by Donnie Owens is about a man who is constantly being pursued by a matchmaker who is trying to set him up with a woman. The main character of the song is annoyed with the matchmaker's meddling and wants to win the woman's love on his own, without any interference. The song speaks of the main character's frustration with the matchmaker and his desire to have the woman come to him on her own free will. He believes that the matchmaker's efforts will only ruin his chances with the woman and ultimately cause trouble.
The lyrics in the song paint a clear picture of the main character's feelings towards the matchmaker and how he hopes to win the woman's love. He asks the matchmaker to cease her efforts in trying to set him up with the woman and let fate take its course. The repetition of the phrase "Leave her alone she'll come to me" in the chorus emphasizes the main character's desires and acts as a sort of mantra.
The song highlights the importance of personal agency and the power of choice in relationships. The main character wants the woman to come to him of her own free will, and not because someone else manipulated the situation. In essence, the song is a plea for autonomy and for the right to pursue love on one's own terms.
