La Mafia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I don't know where to look for love
I just don't know how
Oh, girl, how I depend on you
To give me love when I need it
Right on time you would always be
They say, "Let the woman take care of you"
So I try to be hip and think like the crowd
But not even the crowd can't help me now
Oh, girl, tell me what am I gonna do?
I know I've got a guilty face
Girl, I feel so out of place
Please, don't leave me, baby, I need your love
All my friends call me a fool
They say, "Let the woman take care of you"
So I try to be hip and think like the crowd
But not even the crowd can't help me now
Don't leave me, baby
You mean the world to me, baby
Please girl, I love you so much
Don't you ever leave me, baby
Oh girl, oh girl, please, please don't go
My, my, my, my baby, if you leave me I'll go crazy

He acknowledges that he has a guilty face, and feels like a fool for needing her so much, but he simply cannot help it. All of his friends tell him to let the woman take care of him, but he still feels lost without her. He begs her not to leave him, because he loves her so much, and he knows he will go crazy if she does.

1 of the best versions ever recorded. Takes me back when I was parked in my 88 oldsmobile, parked in front of my girlfriend's house, off Southmost Blvd, listening to it on my new cassette to 8 track converter. Just holding her hand and staring deep into her eyes and falling in love, over and over again. What a mistake letting her go, back in 85!
