Don't, don't, that's what you say Each time that I hold you this way, When I feel like this and I want to hold you, baby, don't say don't. Don't, don't leave my embrace For here in my arms is your place When the night grows cold and I want to hold you, baby, don't say don't. If you think that this is just a game I'm playing If you think that I don't mean every word I'm saying Don't, don't, don't, don't, Don't feel that way I'm your love and yours I will stay This you can believe I will never leave you Heave knows I won't Baby, don't say don't
