Don't Go
Regine Velasquez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You screamed, I cried
You packed your things
You wanna leave
You get the car keys
And headed for the door
CHORUS
I'm beggin' you please
Don't go, don't go
Don't give up on us now
We can work it out
Don't go, don't go
Maybe I'm wrong and you're right
I said "I'm sorry"
No, I don't wanna fight
Just calm down
And hold me close
And dry the tears in my eyes
[Repeat CHORUS]
BRIDGE
Why can't we kiss and make up
I don't want to ever break up
Why can't we forgive and forget
And stay together
[Repeat CHORUS]
[Repeat CHORUS on the background]
Don't go
I'm down on my knees
Oh, baby, I'm beggin' you please
I'm beggin' you please
Don't go
Don't, don't go

Regine is a Huge talent. Why is the video not on the scale she deserves? I’m sorry but she looks great, but the camera is out of focus. She sounds great but the audio quality isn’t clear. It’s Frigging REGINE VELASQUEZ! Give her the respect she deserves! Yikes!!! She’s a huge STAR 🌟
