Don't Tell Me
Knob Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, don't tell me, your love is gone away
You want to run, to break free, but I want you to stay
Beside me…
Beside me…

Still remember the nights we ran away
Dancing so close, we never found the way
Now I sit in my dark room, and calling for you…

All the passion, the love we used to share
Now it's all gone, vanished to nowhere
Wake me up, this nightmare comes, I need your love…

Ooh, don't tell me, your love is gone away
You want to run, to break free, but I want you to stay
I need you here, beside me, won't let you go away, oh no
Ooh, don't tell me
I believe we may...

Cannot sleep, 'cause you are in my dreams
Going moonstruck, I wander in the streets
Left alone, what can I do? Boy I miss you…
You were prefect, you came from outer space
Now you left me, I'll never see your face
Try to find time, break these chains, and leave this race…

Ooh, don't tell me, your love is gone away
You want to run, to break free, but I want you to stay
I need you here, beside me, won't let you go away, oh no
Ooh, don't tell me
I believe we may...

I need you here, beside me… I need you here, beside me…
I need you here, beside me… I need you here, beside me…

Ooh, don't tell me, your love is gone away
You want to run, to break free, but I want you to stay
I need you here, beside me, won't let you go away, oh no




Ooh, don't tell me
I believe we may.

Ooh, don't tell me, your love is gone away
You want to run, to break free, but I want you to stay
Beside me,
Beside me,

Still remember the nights we ran away
Dancing so close, we never found the way
Now I sit in my dark room, and calling for you,

All the passion, the love we used to share
Now it's all gone, vanished to nowhere
Wake me up, this nightmare comes, I need your love,

You want to run, to break free, but I want you to stay
I need you here, beside me, won't let you go away, oh no

Cannot sleep, 'cause you are in my dreams
Going moonstruck, I wander in the streets
Left alone, what can I do? Boy I miss you,
You were prefect, you came from outer space
Now you left me, I'll never see your face
Try to find time, break these chains, and leave this race,
