Please Don't Go
Rose-Marie Lyrics

The lyrics of "Please Don't Go" by Rose-Marie convey a strong plea from the singer to their loved one not to leave. The opening lines express the singer's awareness of the slow passage of time in their absence, emphasizing their longing for the person to stay. The phrase "somewhere and somehow, we'll find a way" suggests a belief in the possibility of overcoming their challenges and finding a solution together.

The repetition of the plea "please don't go" highlights the singer's desperation and dependence on the other person. They acknowledge that the person's heart is all they know and that they are willing to take things slow if that would make the person stay. The line "why can't you stay" reflects the singer's frustration and inability to comprehend the reason behind the impending departure.

In the second paragraph, the tone shifts slightly as the singer recognizes that if the person must go, they should leave completely. The use of the metaphor "turn around and into dust" suggests a desire for a clean break and separation. The singer acknowledges the pain they are feeling, referring to their heart as "full of hurt." The line "I'm a fool to think that lovin' you could show me what I'm worth" reveals a sense of self-doubt and realization that they may have placed too much value in the relationship.

The third paragraph continues the plea for the person to go, acknowledging that their time has come to an end. The singer expresses their inability to bear the pain any longer, referring to their heart as sore. The line "so don't show your face" implies that seeing the person again would only cause further heartbreak. The repetition of "my heart gon' break, my heart gon' break, in two" emphasizes the intensity of the pain the singer anticipates.

The final paragraph takes a more defiant tone as the singer declares that they will be okay without the person's love. They express a sense of strength and resilience, asserting that their heart won't break, despite the earlier declaration of its imminent breakage. The closing lines "don't hit me up, I'll be just fine without your love" indicate a newfound determination to move on and find happiness independently.
