be disappointed to see them break up just as they seemed to be in a groove.
He decided to start his own band that would not break up and called it the RubberBand, because it was meant to be elastic. He brought in the players he needed but only when he needed them. (There might be just one other musician sharing the stage with him or there might be four others.) The lineup changed constantly until, without even trying to make it happen, the membership jelled.

Don't Leave Me Lonely
Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a girl just like you
And I've been saving up all of my kisses
For someone to give them to
And you know I've been waiting
For a girl so fine
I would give you all my affection
Yeah, I want to make you all mine
Nothing can change the way I feel about you
Please don't leave me
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't leave me lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Every day I've been dreaming
We could fly away
We could leave all our troubles behind us
Laughing and walking hand in hand all day
And I hope you feel the same way I do
Nothing can change the way I feel about you
Please don't leave me
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't leave me lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't leave me sad and lonely
Don't leave me feeling blue
Don't leave me wondering what life would be without you
Please don't leave me
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't leave me lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
