Please Don't Go
Eve St. Jones Lyrics

Hear that whistle, it's ten o'clock.
The singer is alerting their partner that it's time to move on, and wheedling them to stay around a little longer.

Don't let go, Don't let go.
The singer begs their partner to stay and not leave them alone.

Come on, baby, it's time to rock,
The singer is insisting that it's time to turn up the tempo and enjoy the moment.

I'm so happy I got you here,
The artist is exultant that their partner is present to share the experience with them.

Keeps me grinnin' from ear to ear.
The artist is enjoying themselves immensely, and indicates this through their wide smile.

Oo-wee, This feelin's killin' me;
The singer is collapsing under the emotional joy they are experiencing.

Ah shucks, I wouldn't stop for a million bucks.
The singer is conveying the message that they would not leave this experience behind in a million years.

I love you so, Just hold me tight.
The artist is expressing their love and need for their partner to hold them closely.

Thunder, lightening, wind and rain,
The artist evokes the turbulent weather to compare it to the turbulent love brewing inside them.

Love is stormin' inside my brain,
The artist is overcome with love, which is taking over their thoughts and emotions.

I'm so eager, I'm nearly dyin',
The singer is consumed with anticipation and impatience for their partner to take action.

You've been keepin' your lips from mine.
The artist's partner is holding back from committing to this relationship with a kiss or other affectionate act.

Hound dog barkin' up side the hill,
The singer uses the imagery of a dog barking in the distance to emphasize the importance of this moment with their partner.

Love is draggin' him thru the mill,
The singer indicates that love is both sweet and painful - the hound dog is experiencing the same emotions.

If it wasn't for havin' you,
The singer asserts that the only way they can feel complete is through the existence of their partner in their life.

I'd be barkin' and howlin' too.
The artist would be experiencing the same restless, anxious energy as the hound dog if their partner wasn't present.

One day, baby, you'll quit me yet,
The artist confesses their fear that their partner may leave them eventually, but still pleads with them to stay for the present moment.

I'll be cryin' and soakin' wet,
The singer will be utterly heartbroken if their partner leaves, and anticipating a lot of tears in their future.

One thing, baby, I'll never stand,
The singer has a hard limit - their partner being unfaithful - which they make clear should never happen.

Your lips kissin' some other man.
The artist specifically mentions their partner kissing someone else, indicating the importance of faithfulness and the depth of their love.

Just hold me tight, Don't let go!
The artist circles back to their initial plea, reiterating their need for their partner to physically comfort and hold them.
