Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold my hand, feel the touch of your body cling to mine
You and me, makin' love all the way through another night
I remember you and I walkin' through the park at night
Kiss and touch, nothin' much
Let it blow, just touch and go
Love me more, never leave me alone by house of love
People talk, people say what we have is just a game
Oh, I'll never let you go
Come here, girl
Just got to make sweet love 'til the break of dawn

I don't want the sun to shine, I wanna make love (break of dawn)
Plus this magic in your eyes and in my heart (break of dawn)
I don't know what I'm gon' do, I can't stop lovin' you (it's the break of dawn)
I won't stop 'til break of dawn makin' love

Hold my hand, feel the sweat
Yes, you've got me nervous yet
Let me groove, let me soothe
Let me take you on a cruise
There's imagination, I bet you've never been there before
Have you ever wanted to dream about those places you've never known?

(Break of dawn, break of dawn) there's no sun up in the sky
(Break of dawn, break of dawn) I can see it in your eyes
(Break of dawn, break of dawn) girl, you got to understand
It's the way that I love you
Let me show you I'm your man
Break of dawn

I don't want the sun to shine, I wanna make love (it's the break of dawn)
Plus this magic in your eyes and in my heart (it's the break of dawn)
I don't know what I'm gon' do, I can't stop lovin' you (no)
I won't stop 'til break of dawn makin' love (it's the break of dawn)
I don't want the sun to shine, I wanna make love (I don't want, no, it's the break of dawn)
Plus this magic in your eyes and in my heart (oh, it's the break of dawn)
I don't know what I'm gon' do, I can't stop lovin' you (break of dawn)
I won't stop 'til break of dawn makin' love (oh)

Let's not wait, the sun is out
Let's get up and let's get out
It's the day, a brand new day
Let's both go outside and play
Let us walk down the park, makin' love 'til it's dark
Let me move ya, let me soothe ya
'Til the break of dawn
And you know it's true, oh

I don't want the sun to shine, I wanna make love (the break of dawn)
Plus this magic in your eyes and in my heart (it's the break of dawn)
I don't know what I'm gon' do, I can't stop lovin' you (I don't know, I don't know, oh)
I won't stop 'til break of dawn makin' love (I don't want, oh, oh)

Break of Dawn Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hold my hand, feel the touch of your body cling to mine
You and me, making love all the way through another night
I remember you and I walking through the park at night
Kiss and touch, nothing much, let it blow just touch and go
Love me more, never leave me alone by house of love
People talk, people say what we have is just a game
Oh, I’ll never let you go, come here girl
Just got to make sweet love ‘til the break of dawn

[Chorus]
I don’t want the sun to shine I want to make love
Just this magic in your eyes and in my heart
I don’t know what I’m going to do - I can’t stop loving you
I won’t stop ‘til break of dawn making love

[Verse 2]
Hold my hand, feel the sweat, yes you’ve got me nervous yet
Let me groove, let me soothe, let me take you on a cruise
There’s imagination I bet you've never been there before
Have you ever wanted to dream about those places you’ve never known

[Pre-Chorus]
(Break of dawn, break of dawn) there’s no sun up in the sky
(Break of dawn, break of dawn) I can see it in your eyes
(Break of dawn, break of dawn) girl you got to understand
It’s the way that I love you, let me show you I’m your man
Break of dawn

[Chorus]
I don’t want the sun to shine I want to make love
Just this magic in your eyes and in my heart
I don’t know what I’m going to do - I can’t stop loving you
I won’t stop ‘til break of dawn making love
I don’t want the sun to shine I want to make love
Just this magic in your eyes and in my heart
I don’t know what I’m going to do - I can’t stop loving you
I won’t stop ‘til break of dawn making love

[Bridge]
Let’s not wait, the sun is out, let’s get up and let’s get out
It’s the day, a brand new day, let’s both go outside and play
Let us walk down the park, making love ‘til it’s dark
Let me move, let me soothe, ‘til the break of dawn and you know it’s true, oh

[Chorus]
I don’t want the sun to shine I want to make love
Just this magic in your eyes and in my heart
I don’t know what I’m going to do - I can’t stop loving you
I won’t stop ‘til break of dawn making love
I don’t want the sun to shine I want to make love
Just this magic in your eyes and in my heart
I don’t know what I’m going to do - I can’t stop loving you
I won’t stop ‘til break of dawn making love

I can't believe people called this album a flop.. This side of MJ touched my soul with his vocals.

@MsTrueTy

It sold 8 millions copies. FAR! from a flop even by the numbers sake. thats almost diamond status. There are artist who cant get 8 million sales in the entirety of their careers. Mike did this on ONE ALBUM. The media just was hating per usual. Couldnt stand that Michael was indeed invincible. The lies hurt the sales to michael sale standard. However 8 million is NOT A FLOP this album still made them eat their hearts out. Plus its a masterpiece. No bad song on here.

@ruben149

@@MsTrueTy but seriously i was so surprised when i heard this albums songs man its so new so i love it

@Thespeedrap

It wasn't a flop it probably didn't get sell well as Thriller or Bad.If it would've had enough singles out there and music videos that might had been better sold.
