Don't look back
Peter Tosh & Mick Jagger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't run it, you can't hide it, you can't run it
Love has problems I know but there problems, we'll just have to face.
If you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
We're gonna walk and don't look back.
Don't look back
And don't look back
Don't look back
The places behind you let them re-remind you
If your first lover broke your heart,
There's something that can be done.
You don't run it, you don't hide it, you don't run it
Don't end your faith in love because of what he's done.
So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on walking and don't look back.
Forget about the past now.
Don't look back, baby.
Keep on walking and don't look back
The places behind you let them re-remind you.
Love can be a beautiful thing.
Though your first love let you down.
'Cause I know we can make love bloom, baby.
The second time around.
So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on pushing and don't look back.
Now, till I say, we won't look back, girl.
Keep on walking and won't look back.
Forget about the past now, baby.
And don't look back.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, don't look back.
The song 'Don't Look Back' by Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger speaks to the idea that love is not always easy, but it is worth facing the problems that come with it. The lyrics suggest that previous heartbreaks shouldn't hinder moving forward in love. The line "If it's love that you're running from, there's no hiding place." suggests that one can't escape love and encourages the listener to confront their fears and embrace love fully. The repetition of the line "We're gonna leave our troubles behind" highlights the need to let go of past pain and focus on the potential love that could lie ahead.
The second verse acknowledges that love can be difficult, but encourages the listener not to give up on it. The line "Don't end your faith in love because of what he's done" suggests that one bad experience shouldn't define our entire perspective on love. The chorus is repeated several times, emphasizing the importance of moving forward and leaving the past in the past.
Overall, the song delivers a positive message of hope and encourages the listener not to give up on love. It doesn't deny the realities of heartbreak and struggles in love, but instead suggests that it's worth persevering through these difficulties to find a real and lasting love.

It’s been 45 years since Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger worked up this amazing duet. I still get chills from listening to “Don’t Look Back”. That’s just how it is.

@@kelsonlaborde8645Peter and Mick Jaggers version is better than the Temptations original version. I don't care what anyone says cause Peter Tosh is the King of Reggae 💚💛❤️ however I'm glad Mick Jagger and the Stones are still rocking and shocking plus I heard Mick celebrated his 80th birthday this year in 2023 and this year is Peter's 36th anniversary of his death at the hands of Tosh's so called friend Dennis leppo.

Never get tired of hearing this song. I'm 64 years old and still remember hearing it years ago and have loved it ever since. Yeah Mick and Peter (RIP).
@KennBurch
I still remember Tosh singing this on "SNL" back in the late 70's. Mick came onstage as a total surprise to the audience for his verse, and that still stands to me as one of the coolest(perhaps the single coolest)moments in SNL history.
@richardmarcus5400
I think both Mick and Keith joined him - but my memories of the 70s aren't that reliable.
