Don't Walk Away
Jade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got all this love, waiting just for you
I just got to know that your love is true
Can't keep running, boy, in and out my life
Want to be your girl, not 'cause the mood is right

If I let you come inside
Tomorrow will you hide?
Will you be there for me
When I need someone to hold?

Baby, don't misunderstand
I do want you for my man
I just need a little time
Before I invest my love

Don't walk away, boy (don't walk away)
My love won't hurt you (no, no)
Don't walk away, boy
I'll be right there for you

You say all the things
That I like to hear
You push all my buttons, baby
Love to have you close to me
Want to feel your love
Want to be for sure
That's it's me you need, baby
Each and every night

If I let you come inside
Tomorrow will you hide?
Will you be there for me
When I need someone to hold?

Baby, don't misunderstand
I do want you for my man
I just need a little time
Before I invest my love

Don't walk away, boy (don't walk away, boy)
My love won't hurt you (no)
Don't walk away, boy (don't walk away)
I'll be right there for you

Baby, don't misunderstand
I want you for my man
I need a little time
Before I give you my love

Don't walk away, boy (don't walk away)
I'll be right there for you

Don't walk away

This is what it sounds like when we make love
Don't walk away, boy
Don't walk away, boy
I'll be right there for you

Don't walk away
Don't walk away, boy (no)
My love won't hurt you (won't hurt you)
Don't walk away, boy
I'll be right there for you (I'll be right there, oh yeah)





Don't walk away, boy (don't walk away)
My love won't hurt you

Overall Meaning

In the chorus, Jade pleads with this person not to walk away. She's telling them that her love won't hurt them and she'll be there for them if they choose to stay. She wants this relationship to work, but it's up to the other person to show that their feelings are genuine.
