Don't Take Advantage of ME
Guarding Hearts: Susan Raye's Plea Against Deceitful Love
Lyrics
Don't make me a promise and then make me blue
Requesting not to make promises that lead to sadness.
Don't say you love me if it isn't true
Emphasizing the importance of truthful expressions of love.
Don't make me cry so much
Asking not to cause excessive tears and emotional pain.
I can't see, please, don't take advantage of me
Pleading to avoid taking advantage and exploiting emotions.
You might be the kind who'll just lead me on
Warning against leading on romantically without commitment.
Then when I need you most that's when you'll be gone
Expressing fear of abandonment when most vulnerable.
Don't tell me those sweet lies you know
Advising against telling false, comforting words.
I believe, please, don't take advantage of me
Believing in spoken words and requesting sincerity.
Ever since I first met you, I've been so in love
Describing a longstanding deep affection for the person.
Day and night, it's you that I'm thinking of
Highlighting constant thoughts about the loved one.
So before you hurt me, I'm a begging you
Begging to avoid causing harm or heartbreak.
Please, please, don't take advantage of me
A plea to refrain from taking advantage of vulnerability.
Well, you might be the kind who'll just lead me on
Reiteration of the warning against leading on without commitment.
Then when I need you most that's when you'll be gone
Expressing concern about potential abandonment during need.
Don't tell me those sweet lies you know
Repeating the advice to avoid dishonesty and sweet lies.
I believe, please, don't take advantage of me
Reiterating belief in spoken words and the plea for sincerity.
Please, don't take advantage of me
A final plea to avoid taking advantage of emotional vulnerability.
