Don
The Cedar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've hung around you just like a fool
Falling head and heels in love like a kid out of school.
My poor heart is in an awful state now
But it's too late now to call a halt
So if I become a nuisance it's all your fault!
Don't blame me for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell but how can I help it!
Don't' blame me!
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
Don't blame; me.
Ican't help it if that doggoned moon above
Makes me need someone like you to love!
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
But don't blame me.
I like every single thing about you
Without a doubt you are like a dream
In my mind I find a picture of us as a team
Ever since the hour of our meeting
I've been repeating a silly phrase
Hoping that you'll understand me one of these days.
Don't blame me for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell but how can I help it!
Don't' blame me!
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
Don't blame; me.
Ican't help it if that doggoned moon above
Makes me need someone like you to love!
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
But don't blame me.
The Cedar's song Don is a love letter to someone who has captured the singer's heart. The lyrics describe an infatuation that has taken over the singer's life, leaving them feeling foolish but completely helpless to resist. The song opens with the singer confessing that they have been unable to stay away from the object of their affection ever since they first met them. They have fallen "head and heels in love like a kid out of school" and are now "in an awful state" but also acknowledge it's now too late to change course.
The singer is aware that they are becoming a nuisance, but they cannot help how they feel. The repeating refrain of "Don't blame me for falling in love with you" shows the singer's desperation and perhaps even their fear that the object of their affection will turn away from them. The singer tries to explain that they are under a spell and cannot help how they feel. They ask the object of their affection to see the effect their actions have on them and understand why they cannot help but fall deeper in love.
Overall, "Don" is a classic love song that captures the excitement and vulnerability of falling in love. The use of repetition in the chorus highlights the singer's constant struggle to explain and justify their feelings to the object of their affection, who may not fully understand the depth of their emotions.

Love overland teardrops. I'm older, and have bad joints. This would be so much easier to use than a rooftop tent set up. Thanks for the video. Still prefer the Tundra though over the Jeep 😉. Though I had several CJ-7's in the 80's and 90's...
Misplaced Overland
Thank Scott! The Teardrop did look very nice behind the Tundra also. Very close in color. We would definitely be interested in one of these in the future but we have a set-up coming for the Tundra that we think you will like 😜
