Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Du duda du du du
Yuh, yuh, yuh
Ohohoh
Take me to the water (Water)
Take me to the ocean (Ocean)
Take me to your love and devotion (Love and devotion)
Don't you go, no (You go, oh, no)
I'm the one that you might (You might)
Fall in love with
I know that you don't know (I know that you don’t know)
Don't you go (No, don’t you go)
Yuh, yuh, yuh
Playin' wit me like, I don't see
That you got me on, left on seen
That you fuckin' in a, BnB
When I bring it up, you- "What you mean?"
Fuck you mean?
Goin' out with your girlfriends, “brb”
“Didn't see your message, how you been?”
I just saw your snap map
I'm not even like that
But you got me mad
Could have given you another chance, but the deed's done
Go around breaking hearts, asesina
Wanna love you but I got enough demons
Get your freedom, I don't need ya, I just need love
Fuck this
I know that you're pissed
'Bout that one song with a diss
But that's what a bitch gets
Take me to the water (Water)
Ocean (Ocean)
Love and devotion (Love and devotion)
Don't you go, no (You go, oh, no)
Missin’ me? Yeah, I know
Fuckin’ with a bitch you know
Tellin’ her that you’re gone
Tellin’ her I’m all alone
Taking her all night long
That’s how you wanna be
You can’t be mad at me
You ate the apple tree
That’s the reality
Not an anomaly
I could have given you anything, everything
Whatever you could dream
You could get out of me
Take me to the water (Water)
Take me to the ocean (Ocean)
Take me to your love and devotion (Love and devotion)
Don't you go, no (You go, oh, no)
Take me to your home like (Home like)
I'm the one that you might (You might)
Fall in love with
I know that you don't know (I know that you don’t know)
Don't you go (No, don’t you go)
Take me to the water, ocean
Somewhere I can drown my emotions
Could have had it all
You stupid lying bitch
Playin' wit me like, I don't see
That you got me on, left on seen
That you fuckin' in a, BnB
When I bring it up, you- "What you mean?"
Fuck you mean?!
Goin' out with your girlfriends, “brb”
“Didn't see your message, how you been?”
I just saw your snap map
I'm not even like that
But you got me mad
Yuh, yuh, yuh
Could have given you another chance, but the deed's done
Go around breaking hearts, asesina
Wanna love you but I got enough demons
Get your freedom, I don't need ya, I just need love
Fuck this

The lyrics of L.J. Reynolds's "Don't Go There" are an expression of the intensity of his passion for his partner and his fear of losing her. The song begins with a call to arms to his partner to join in the celebration and to not let go of their love. He describes his happiness at having her by his side and that it keeps him grinning from ear to ear. The feeling is so strong that he wouldn't stop for a million bucks. He implores her to hold him tight and not let go.
The chorus is followed by a storm metaphor, where Reynolds describes the powerful force of love within him, equating it to thunder, lightening, wind, and rain. He expresses his eagerness for her and the fact that she has been keeping her lips from his. This line may imply that they have not yet been intimate, or perhaps it is just an expression of pent up passion. Despite this, he still implores her to hold him tight and not let go.
Reynolds then brings in the metaphor of a hound dog barking up the hill, presumably at the storm, and how love is dragging him through the mill. He says that without his partner, he would also be barking and howling. This is followed by a warning that one day she may quit him, and he will be crying and soakin' wet. The fear of her kissing another man is too much for him to bear, and he implores her once again to hold him tight and not let go.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Don't Go There" are an expression of L.J. Reynolds's intense passion and the fear of losing his partner. He uses metaphors of a storm, a hound dog, and the fear of being left for someone else to underline his message. However, despite all of his fears, he implores his partner to hold him tight and not let go.

Hear that whistle, it's ten o'clock.
It's time to get started and enjoy the night
Don't let go, Don't let go.
Hold onto the feeling of love and happiness
Come on, baby, it's time to rock,
Let's have some fun and dance together
I'm so happy I got you here,
I'm grateful to have you in my life
Keeps me grinnin' from ear to ear.
You always make me smile and feel good inside
Oo-wee, This feelin's killin' me;
This love and passion is overwhelming
Ah shucks, I wouldn't stop for a million bucks.
I wouldn't give up this feeling or our relationship for anything
I love you so, Just hold me tight.
I love you deeply, and I want to be close to you
Thunder, lightening, wind and rain,
There may be chaos and obstacles, but our love will persevere
Love is stormin' inside my brain,
I'm filled with intense emotions of love and desire
You've been keepin' your lips from mine.
I want to kiss you, but you're holding back
Hound dog barkin' up side the hill,
Even the dog can sense the passion between us
Love is draggin' him thru the mill,
Our love is so strong that it affects everything around us
If it wasn't for havin' you,
Without you, I would be lost and incomplete
I'll be cryin' and soakin' wet,
If we ever break up, I'll be heartbroken and in tears
Your lips kissin' some other man.
The thought of you being with someone else is unbearable
Just hold me tight, Don't let go!
Stay close to me and never let me go
