LYRICS

Don't, don't, that's what you say

Each time that I hold you this way

When I feel like this and I want to kiss you

Baby, don't say don't

Don't, don't leave my embrace

For here in my arms is your place

When the night grows cold and I want to hold you

Baby, don't say don't

If you think that this is just a game

I'm playing

If you think that I don't mean

Every word I'm saying

Don't, don't, don't feel that way

I'm your love and yours I will stay

This you can believe

I will never leave you, Heaven knows I won't

Baby, don't say don't
