Lyrics
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna I know
Addressing a person named Donna, acknowledging her
You wanted my love and I gave it to you.
Acknowledging Donna's desire for love and expressing giving it
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Reiterating Donna's identity and suggesting departure is a new beginning because of being on the road
Goodbye is hello, 'cause I'm on the road.
Highlighting the transient nature of goodbyes due to a life on the road
Take it easy, don't get me wrong,
Advising Donna to take things lightly, not to misunderstand
Just keep me in your dreams.
Encouraging Donna to maintain thoughts of the speaker in her dreams
Take it easy, life goes on
Emphasizing the continuation of life despite challenges
My little backstage queen.
Referring to Donna as a cherished companion in the world behind the scenes (backstage)
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna so good
Expressing positive feelings about Donna and the authenticity of emotions
My feeling with you was all very true.
Affirming the sincerity of the speaker's emotions towards Donna
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Repeating Donna's identity and suggesting a cyclical nature of departure and return
Goodbye is hello, 'cause I'm on the road.
Reiterating the idea that goodbyes are a prelude to new encounters on the road
Take it easy, don't get me wrong,
Reiterating the advice to take things lightly and avoid misunderstandings
Just keep me in your dreams.
Encouraging Donna to maintain thoughts of the speaker in her dreams
Take it easy, life goes on
Reiterating the notion that life continues despite challenges
My little backstage queen.
Endearing term for Donna, emphasizing her role as a special companion behind the scenes
Hey little Donna
Acknowledging Donna once again
Sweet little Donna
Repeating an affectionate reference to Donna
Goodbye Donna
Bidding farewell to Donna
