The lyrics to the song "Don't Leave Me" by L. Subramaniam and Stéphane Grappelli express a plea for a lover to stay with the singer. The repetition of "I know it's me" and "I need you inside of me" suggest that the singer may be feeling insecure in the relationship, but still deeply desires the love and presence of their partner. The lines "Baby please won't you leave, baby it's you and me, baby Imma let you be" also convey a sense of resignation or acceptance of the possibility of the relationship ending, but a continued desire to cherish the time they have together. The use of non-lexical vocables ("mmh mmh mmh" and "weh weh weh") throughout the song give it a dreamy or improvisational quality, as if the singer is searching for the right words to express their emotions.
Overall, the lyrics to "Don't Leave Me" convey a mix of vulnerability, passion, and uncertainty in a relationship.

I was gifted a tape for this album in 1987. I played it so much it was stretched and no longer playable. Hearing this brings back so much memories when I stayed in Bataan, Philippines on the way to the USA. Amazing album. Thanks for the post.
