Don
John Legend Lyrics

Come back, come back
Asking the other person to come back and not leave things unresolved

We don't wanna go out like that
Not wanting the relationship to end in a bad way

We can't go out like this
The current situation is not sustainable

It's just the two of us
The relationship is between them only

We should be makin' up
They should be reconciling

We could be makin' love
They could also be intimate with each other

Didn't used to talk like this
Their previous conversations were different, and they miss that

Now you say you're givin' up
The other person is now giving up on the relationship

Took too much to build this house
Their relationship took a lot of effort and work to build

I don't wanna sit and watch it burn down
He doesn't want to see their relationship end in flames

I ain't leaving, I ain't leaving, I ain't leaving
He is not leaving or giving up

I ain't giving you space
He's not giving up on the relationship and leaving space for the other person

I will not be replaced
He is not replaceable, and he's not going to let someone else take his place

I don't wanna save face
He doesn't want to pretend that everything is fine when it's not

Don't leave me open, leave me open, leave me open
Asking the other person not to leave him vulnerable and exposed

Leave me open like that
Asking not to be left alone with no explanation or reason

Whatever love we had
Referring to the love they shared in the past

We need to get it back
Wanting to get back to the love they had in the past

When we go to war like this
Referring to the arguments and fights in their relationship

Nobody's winning it
In their fights, no one is coming out as the winner

Nobody's gotta leave
No one has to leave the relationship

We're not the enemy
They should not be fighting against each other

You know we're better than this
They are better as a couple than this fighting and arguing

It's no ordinary love
Their love is not ordinary, and it's worth fighting for

And if we gonna fight
If they have to fight, it should be for their relationship

Then we need to fight for us
They need to fight for their relationship

Take, take, take time
Asking for more time to work things out

Fragile is my love
Their love is fragile and needs care and attention

I ain't never givin' up
He's never giving up on the relationship

Give you my life, I would
He's willing to do whatever it takes to save the relationship

I'll stand by you, bad times and good
He'll be there for his partner no matter what

When you say you don't know me
Feeling unknown and distant from the other person

Oh, why can't we slow things down?
Asking to slow down and take things easy

Won't you put your love on me?
Asking for intimacy and affection

Can we just wait?
Asking to wait and not give up on each other

Don't walk away
Asking to not walk away from the relationship

There's so much more I wanna say
He wants to express himself and his love more

Hey baby
A term of endearment for his partner

Come on over
Asking the partner to come to him

Ooh, baby
Another term of endearment

We don't wanna go out
They don't want to end their relationship

No, no, nah, nah, no
Expressing the feeling of not wanting the relationship to end
