Don't Stop
Hayes Wade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl, you've got me so confused
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Part of me says take it slow
And part of me says let it go
Don't - Stop
Don't stop doing what you're doing to me
I think we're moving way too fast
We need to take it slow and make it last
I can't keep holding back
When you keep doing things like that
Don't - Stop
Don't - Stop
Don't stop doing what you're doing to me
But I've watched the flame of love go out
Burning love takes a toll
I don't want to lose control
Don't - Stop
Don't - Stop
Don't stop doing what you're doing to me
Hayes Wade's song Don't Stop talks about the dilemma of a person in love. The persona is caught up in a situation where they are not sure about what to do. The first few lines of the song give an insight into the confusion that the person is facing. The persona says, "Girl, you've got me so confused. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Part of me says take it slow, And part of me says let it go."
The song talks about how the persona believes that they are moving too fast in the relationship and that it is essential to slow down and make things last. However, they are not being able to hold back because of the things that the partner keeps doing.
The chorus of the song, which repeats itself thrice, talks about how the persona does not want their partner to stop doing what they are doing to them. One can assume that the partner's actions are the reason the persona is delighted and confused at the same time.
The bridge of the song talks about the persona's fear of losing control. They do not want the fire of love to go out; however, they do not want to lose control over their emotions. The song leaves us with that one interesting question- What will the persona do? Will they slow down or let go?
Overall, this song is an interesting take on the complexity of human emotions, and how love can leave us confused and unsure of what the next steps should be.

I was lucky enough to see Wade live after winning tickets on KZLA. I actually won twice, but couldn’t be given tickets the first time because it was 21+ and I must’ve been 18 at the time. It was at a bar, hence the age restriction.
