Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you
Yeah
Babe, I love you so
I want you to know
That I'm going to miss your love
The minute you walk out that door

So please don't go
Don't go
Don't go away
Please don't go
Don't go
I'm begging you to stay

If you leave
At least in my lifetime
I've had one dream come true
I was blessed to be loved
By someone as wonderful as you

So please don't go
Don't go
Don't go away
Please don't go
Don't go
I'm begging you to stay

Hey, hey, hey
Yeah
Babe, I love you so
I, Iwant yo to know
That I'm going to miss your love
The minute you walk out that door
So please don't go
Don't go
Don't go away
Hey, hey, hey
I need your love
I'm down on my knees
Beggin' please, please, please
Don't go
Don't you hear me baby

Don't leave me now
Oh, no, no, no, no
Please don't go
I want you to know
That I, I, I, love you so




Don't leave me baby

I love their series on white truths. The white is like the jew in ww2.

Why can’t we just have stories? What does the pigmentation of the characters have to do with anything?😫 I’m so tired of it all.

TheFamousMockingbird

Idk if it’s relevant to this band but I love that the guitarist and drummer/piano player met playing gospel music in Houston. If you can be in a gospel band at black church’s in the south you are an insanely talented musician. It really shows through in the drummers discipline allowing the guitar to fill out so much space with such unique worldly melodic structures.

​@Mill Gill so true... It's so corny... People are people... I'm sick of it too.
