Lyrics
Please don't go
Expression of desperation and a plea not to leave
Please don't go
Reiteration of the plea to stay, emphasizing urgency
Please don't go
-Please don't go
-Oh, she found all the numbers I had in my car
Discovering evidence of communication with others
Oh, she called all the ones I had marked with a star
Realization that calls were made to specific individuals
Oh, I'm racing over to plead my case
Acting quickly to defend oneself or explain
Oh, saw it was me and slammed the door in my face
Encountering rejection or dismissal
Fellas, tell me why how come we always doing wrong, doing wrong?
Questioning why mistakes are repeatedly made
How come we can't keep it home, keep it home?
Wondering why stability in the relationship is elusive
How come it always ends like this even though we know that
Recognizing a recurring pattern despite awareness
It ain't worth telling a lie
Stating the undesirability of deception
It ain't worth seein' ya cry
Expressing pain at seeing the partner upset
It ain't worth that's why I'm right here, begging you please don't go 'cause
Begging for forgiveness and expressing commitment
It ain't worth killin' a home
Highlighting the undesirability of destroying the relationship
It ain't worth being alone
Emphasizing the undesirability of loneliness
It ain't worth that's why I'm right here, begging you please don't go, baby
-Please don't go
-Please don't go
-Please don't go
-Please don't go
-Oh, I jeopardized everything I love
Realization of jeopardizing what's cherished
Oh, what the hell could I have been thinking of?
Reflecting on poor decision-making
Oh, oh, oh, I should've left you right when I had the chance
Regret for not acting earlier
Yeah, now you out there looking for a better man
Awareness of partner seeking someone else
Tell me why how come we always doing wrong, how come?
Emphasizing the undesirability of loneliness
How come we can't keep it home? I don't know, I don't know
-How come it always ends like this even thought we know that
-It ain't worth telling a lie
-It ain't worth seein' ya cry
-It ain't worth that's why I'm right here, begging you please don't go 'cause
-It ain't worth killin' a home
-It ain't worth being alone
-It ain't worth that's why I'm right here, begging you please don't go, baby
-Please don't go
-Please don't go
-Please don't go
-Please don't go
-Oh, I didn't think it would get this bad
Surprise at the worsening situation
Never thought of losing you (now my heart is beating fast)
Realization of potential loss and anxiety
I'm trying to figure out in my mind what to do, find the words to say
Struggling to find the right words and solution
Remember when you said that you'll never leave me?
Recollection of a promise of loyalty
I'm steady knocking on the door, but you don't hear me
Efforts to communicate but feeling unheard
I can't let this happen right now
Desperation to prevent the separation
Don't take your love
Pleading not to withdraw affection
I know I'm in shock; it a doggone shame
Shock at the unfolding events
How come we always doing wrong, how come?
Emphasizing the undesirability of loneliness
How come we can't keep it home, how come?
-How come it always ends like this even thought we know that
-It ain't worth telling a lie
-It ain't worth seein' ya cry
-It ain't worth that's why I'm right here, begging you please don't go 'cause
-It ain't worth killin' a home
-It ain't worth being alone
-It ain't worth that's why I'm right here, begging you please don't go, baby
Reaffirmation of the plea to stay
Please don't go
Reiteration of the plea to stay, emphasizing urgency
Please don't go
-Please don't go
-Please don't go
