Break Up
Reclaiming Love: A Plea to Keep Us Together
Lyrics
Well, that little guy you been seein' most every day
Expressing concern about someone taking away the speaker's partner.
Shouldn't be allowed to come and take my baby away
Asserting that the person with whom the partner is spending time shouldn't be allowed to take the speaker's baby away.
Baby, why don't you wake up, all we gotta do is make up
Encouraging the partner to wake up and reconcile, suggesting that making up is all that needs to be done.
Come on baby, don't break up with me
Pleading with the partner not to break up with the speaker.
Well, I saw you walkin' with him just the other night
Expressing distress at seeing the partner walking with someone else and being physically close to them.
I almost flipped when I saw him squeeze you tight
Describing the emotional reaction of almost flipping out upon witnessing the partner being affectionate with someone else.
Baby, why don't you wake up, all we gotta do is make up
Reiterating the call for the partner to wake up and reconcile through making up.
Come on baby, don't break up with me
Again, urging the partner not to break up with the speaker.
Don't you remember all the things that we used to do
Reminding the partner of shared memories and activities before the new person entered the picture.
Before he came along and looked at you?
Highlighting the impact of the new person who looked at the partner.
Don't you remember when you said you loved me so?
Recalling a time when the partner professed love for the speaker.
Baby, now please don't go
Pleading with the partner not to leave.
And I don't know exactly what I'm gonna do
Expressing uncertainty about the future without the partner.
Because if you like him, and I know he likes you
Acknowledging that the partner may have feelings for the new person.
Baby, why don't you wake up, all we gotta do is make up
Reiterating the plea for reconciliation through making up.
Come on baby, don't break up with me
Reaffirming the request for the partner not to break up.
Don't you remember all the things that we used so do
Repeating the reminiscence of shared activities before the arrival of the new person.
Before he came along and looked at you?
Stressing the impact of the new person on the partner's attention.
Don't you remember when you said you loved me so?
Recalling a time when the partner expressed love for the speaker.
Baby, now please don't go
Requesting the partner not to leave.
And I don't know exactly what I'm gonna do
Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's course of action without the partner.
Because if you like him, and I know that he likes you
Acknowledging the mutual attraction between the partner and the new person.
Baby, why don't you wake up, all we gotta do is make up
Persistently urging the partner to reconcile through making up.
Come on baby, don't break up with me
Repeating the plea for the partner not to break up.
Come on baby, don't break up with me
Reiterating the request for the partner not to break up.
Come on baby, don't break up with me
Once again, urging the partner not to break up with the speaker.
