Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go
Please don't go
O-oh
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go
O-oh
We say we'll last forever
Hope we do or I might upset her
Try to go I don't think I'll let her
'Cause my whole world changed as I met her
Wanna go out on a hike
Take ya out to eat, tell me what you like
You're the bright light in my night
Baby won't you come close
I can tell that we're right
That means we're destiny
You're just what's best for me
And anyone who tries to take you from me can go away
O-oh
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go
Please don't go
O-oh
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go
Please don't go

I was in the army and we were training in California with no cell service and someone had this song downloaded and i don’t know why but we sang this song at the top of our lungs on a mountain for like a month and we named the mountain lady’s night mountain. Good memories

@@MattC78 Johnny was drugged out and drunk, he got the gun out in the bar fight to scare the dude to get him to quit, but was so fuucked up that he accidentally pulled the trigger, the bullet grazed the dude's head and cut his head a bit.
That guy was one of the people who even wrote letters to get Johnny pardoned!
