Can't Believe You Wanna Leave
Heartache Melody: Little Richard's Plea for Love
Lyrics
I can't believe you wanna leave
The singer is expressing disbelief that the person wants to leave.
When you know it'll hurt me so
Knowing that leaving will cause the singer pain.
I'm down on bended knee
The singer is figuratively in a submissive position, pleading.
Begging please not to go
Pleading for the person not to depart.
Think of all the love we shared
Reflecting on the shared love and enjoyable times.
And all the fun we had
Recalling the fun experiences in the relationship.
And now you wanna leave
Expressing surprise and dismay at the desire to leave.
Don't you know that'll drive me mad?
Highlighting that the departure will cause emotional distress.
My life, my heart, my love
Stating that the singer's life, heart, and love are dependent on the person.
Is in your hands
Emphasizing the person's control over the singer's emotions and affection.
And now you're gonna leave me
Expressing disbelief and sorrow over the impending departure.
You're gonna leave me for another man
Speculating that the person is leaving for another romantic interest.
Think of all the love we shared
Reiterating the reminiscence of shared love and joyful experiences.
And all the fun we had
Revisiting the enjoyable moments spent together.
And now you wanna leave
Re-emphasizing surprise and disappointment at the desire to depart.
Don't you know that'll drive me mad?
Reiterating the emotional impact of the departure.
Think of all the love we shared
Recalling once again the shared love and enjoyable moments.
And all the fun we had
Revisiting the fun experiences in the relationship.
And now you wanna leave
Re-emphasizing surprise and dismay at the desire to leave.
Don't you know that'll drive me mad?
Reiterating the emotional distress caused by the departure.
