Don't Go
Yazoo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Love just like addiction now I'm hooked on you
I need some time to get it right
Your love gonna see me through

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Baby make your mind up give me what you got
Fix me with your lovin' shut the door and turn the lock
Hey go get the doctor, doctor came too late
Another night I feel alright my love for you can't wait

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Said he was a killer, now I know it's true I'm dead when you walkout the door
Hey babe I'm hooked on you

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go





Don't go, don't go, don't go

I am a teacher...teaching kids Dutch...in a Belgian school. They are 13 to 15 year old. When they hear these songs...they all love them. I have infected at least 300 kids with the 80's bug. And I'll be doing that till my retirement. 20 years to go.

You really know when a song was ahead of its time, when you listen to it after more than 40 years and it still slaps!

@DJdext

Yes and still fills the dance floor.

Easily, the most underappreciated female singer of the 80s, IMHO
