Don't
Tay Watts Lyrics

Ah lahmlahlah
The singer is expressing their frustration and confusion about the situation.

I met this girl late last year
The singer met a girl in recent memory.

She said, "Don't you worry if I disappear."
The girl warned the singer that she might leave.

I told her I'm not really looking for another mistake
The artist mentioned that they don't want to make another bad decision.

I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait
The artist attempted to avoid getting involved with the girl by contacting a friend.

But then I jump right in
Despite their initial hesitation, the singer got involved with the girl.

A week later returned
After some time passed, the singer reconnected with the girl.

I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn
The artist believes that the girl was only interested in a fling.

But I gave her my time for two or three nights
The artist spent a few nights with the girl.

Then I put it on pause until the moment was right
The artist stopped seeing the girl but planned to resume at a later time.

I went away for months until our paths crossed again
The singer and the girl did not see each other for an extended period of time.

She told me, "I was never looking for a friend."
The girl revealed that she had no interest in a friendship with the artist.

Maybe you could swing by my room around 10:00.
The girl requested for the singer to visit her later.

Baby, bring a lemon and a bottle of gin.
The girl asked the singer to bring specific items.

We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late AM.
The girl suggested that they would be intimate until the early morning.

Baby, if you wanted me then you should've just said.
The girl hinted that the artist should have been more direct about their feelings.

She's singing Ah lahmlahlah
The girl is expressing her feelings about the situation.

Don't fuck with my love
The singer is warning the girl not to toy with their emotions.

That heart is so cold
The singer is describing the girl's behavior as unfeeling.

All over my home
The artist is affected by the girl's actions wherever they go.

I don't wanna know that babe Ah lahmlahlah
The artist expresses their desire to be rid of the girl's influence in their life.

I told her she knows Take aim and reload
The artist reminds the girl that they warned her about their feelings.

And for a couple weeks I only wanna see her
For a short period of time, the singer desired to be with the girl.

We drink away the days with a take-away pizza
The artist and the girl spend their days together casually eating and drinking.

Before a text message was the only way to reach her
Before they were together, the only way the singer could contact the girl was through text.

Now she's staying at my place and loves the way I treat her
The girl is now living with the singer and enjoys the way they treat her.

Singing out Aretha All over the track like a feature
The girl is singing loudly to music and adding her voice to it.

And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either
The girl and the artist prefer to stay awake and enjoy each other's company.

But me and her we make money the same way Four cities, two planes the same day
Both the artist and the girl work in a similar profession and travel together.

And those shows have never been what it's about But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out
The singer and the girl have never really focused on their work, but they might figure it out together.

I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on a couch
The singer would prefer to stay in and watch a movie with the girl.

But we should get on a plane Or we'll be missing it now
Despite the artist's desire to stay in, they and the girl must travel for work.

Wish I'd have written it down The way that things played out
The artist regrets not keeping a record of what happened between themselves and the girl.

When she was kissing him How I was confused about
When the girl was kissing another person, the artist was confused about their feelings.

Now she should figure it out while I'm sat here singing Ah lahmlahlah
The singer is expressing their frustration and confusion about the situation.

On my hotel door I don't even know if she knows what for
The girl arrived at the artist's hotel and the artist is unsure of her intentions.

She was crying on my shoulder I already told ya
The girl was upset and the singer has already comforted them before.

Trust and respect is what we do this for
The singer and the girl aim to build a relationship based on trust and respect.

I never intended to be next But you didn't need to take him to bed that's all
The singer did not intend to be in a romantic relationship with the girl, but they were upset when the girl slept with someone else.

And I never saw him as a threat Until you disappeared with him to have sex of course
The artist did not perceive the other person as a threat until they realized the girl was intimate with them.

It's not like we were both on tour We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor
The artist and the girl were on the same floor of their hotel.

And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment But it was never just fun and I thought you were different
The singer did not expect a commitment from the girl but hoped for more than a fling.

This is not the way you realize what you wanted It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest
The singer believes that the way things have played out does not allow the girl to realize what they really wanted.

And all this time God knows I'm singing Ah lahmlahlah
The artist is expressing their frustration and confusion about the situation.
