Leave Me Lonely
Mark Ronson feat. Yebba Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me baby what's on your heart?
'Cause I've been wandering around in your dark, yeah
('Cause I've been, 'cause I've been)
I've got way too many questions, always learning lessons
Loving too hard (loving too hard)
Give me just a second to breathe
'Cause you've been turning all the tables on me, yeah
('Cause I've been, 'cause I've been)
Whenever you would get up in your feelings, I would always listen
Now you turn around and leave (turn around and leave, turn around and leave)

Oh if we fall apart
Let's do it in the dark
Hit me in the heart this time

Don't you leave me lonely tonight
'Cause I won't forgive you (won't forgive you)
Don't you leave me lonely tonight
'Cause I can't forget you (can't forget you)
I toss and turn alone in my bed
When you should be laying here beside me instead
Oh, don't you leave me lonely tonight
'Cause I won't forgive you, forgive you, forgive you this time

Tell me if this love is a lie
'Cause the ticking time is passing me by, babe
('Cause I've been, 'cause I've been)
I'm waiting but the second hand is turnin'
Burnin' all the circles in my mind (mind, mind) yeah
Anticipating 'cause you know I'm never satisfied
And I don't wanna hear the reasons why, why, why we fight, yeah

Oh if we fall apart
Let's do it in the dark
Hit me in the heart this time

Don't you leave me lonely tonight
'Cause I won't forgive you (won't forgive you)
Don't you leave me lonely tonight
'Cause I can't forget you (can't forget you)
I toss and turn alone in my bed
When you should be laying here beside me instead
Oh, don't you leave me lonely tonight
'Cause I won't forgive you, forgive you, forgive you this time

Don't you leave me lonely tonight
'Cause I won't forgive you, oh
Don't you leave me lonely tonight
'Cause I won't forget you, oh
I toss and turn alone in my bed
When you should be laying here beside me instead




Oh, don't you leave me lonely
'Cause I won't forgive you, forgive you, forgive you this time

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Leave Me Lonely" by Mark Ronson and Yebba is a plea to a lover to stay and not leave in the midst of doubt and uncertainty. The singer is asking for clarity on the state of their relationship and is tired of feeling like they are the only one invested in it. They have too many questions and are always learning lessons, but they are loving too hard and need a break. The singer is open to discussing their issues but feels disheartened that their partner would rather leave than work on the relationship.


The chorus expresses the fear of being left alone and the need to feel loved and wanted by the partner. The singer is struggling to sleep alone, and the idea of not having the partner there is unbearable. They won't forgive them for leaving this time, and they're afraid they won't be able to forget them either.


Towards the end of the song, the singer is pleading with the lover not to leave them alone because they won't be able to forgive them or forget them. The song is emotionally charged, and it's evident that the singer is in a vulnerable state, needing assurance and love from their partner.
