Darlin' Danielle Don't
Love's Plea: Darlin' Danielle's Crossroads
Lyrics
I work my fingers
I work hard for you
To the bone for you
Putting in a lot of effort
What do I get in return
What do I receive in return?
And when I think
Reflecting on your actions
About the things you do
Thinking about your behavior
You know I go into a slow burn
Resulting in frustration or anger
I ain't trying to run your life
Not attempting to control your life
All I want is you to realize
Just wanting you to understand
All I'm asking
Expressing a request
Darling, Danielle, don't
Addressing someone named Danielle
Oh, no, Danielle, don't, oh, no
Reiterating the request with emphasis
I know temptation
Acknowledging the presence of temptation
Gets the best of you
Recognizing its influence
You may invite it
Mentioning the possibility of inviting it
I don't know
(Blank line)
Everyone needs a little excitement
Acknowledging a universal truth
I know that's true
Questioning the extent of involvement
Just how far will you go
(Blank line)
Think twice
Advising against a decision
You know it's a mistake
Recognizing a potential error
Take my advice
Offering guidance
Before it's too late
Warning about the consequences
All I'm asking
Reiterating the request for caution
Darling, Danielle, don't
Addressing Danielle again
Oh, no, Danielle, don't
Emphasizing the plea
No, no, no, no, Danielle, don't
Further emphasizing the plea
Girl, don't do it
Directly advising against an action
Girl, don't do it
Repeating the advice
No, no, no, no
Strongly discouraging an action
Remember the good times
Recalling positive memories
The fun we had
Remembering enjoyable moments
When you were my lover
Reflecting on past love
Was that so bad
Questioning the negativity of the past
Honey, you don't need a lover
Asserting a need for attention
You need an audience
Highlighting an alternative need
Well, this show is over
Declaring the end of a performance
This is how it all ends
Describing the conclusion of a situation
Wow, don't, don't
Strongly advising against an action
Don't do it, baby
Reiterating the plea
No, no, no, no
Emphasizing the importance of not doing it
Girl, I'm begging
Expressing a desperate plea
Yes, I'm begging on my knees....
Continuing the desperate plea
