Dont Ever Leave Me
Peggy Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't ever leave me, now that you're here
Here is where you belong
Everything seems so right, when you're near
When you're away, it's all wrong

I'm so dependent when I need comfort
I always run to you
Don't ever leave me, 'cause if you do
I'll have no one to run to

I'm so dependent when I need comfort
I always run to you





Don't ever leave me, 'cause if you do
I'll have no one to run to

Don't ever leave me, now that you're here
Please don't walk away from me now that you've finally found a place with me


Here is where you belong
You're meant to be here with me


Everything seems so right, when you're near
Life becomes clearer and more meaningful when you're around


When you're away, it's all wrong
My world feels incomplete and hollow without you beside me

When I'm feeling down or out of place, I know I can always turn to you for solace

If you leave, I'll lose the one person I can always count on to be there for me

Without you, I'll feel lost and alone, with no one to turn to for support

on Why Don't You Do Right (Get Me Some Money Too)

Why Don't You Do Right - Casey Abrams - Lyrics
You had plenty money 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?

Get out of here and get me some money too?
You're sitting there wondering what it's all about
You ain't got no money, they will throw you out
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too?

Musical Interlude

You had plenty money 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too?
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
