Don't Lyrics
Elvis Presley
Lyrics
Don't (don't), don't (don't), that's what you say
Each time that I hold you this way (oh, oh, oh, oh)
When I feel like this and I want to kiss you
Baby, don't say don't (don't, don't)
Don't (don't), don't (don't) leave my embrace
For here in my arms is your place (oh, oh, oh, oh)
When the night grows cold and I want to hold you
Baby, don't say don't (don't, don't, don't, 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 (don't), don't feel that way
I'm your love and yours, I will stay (oh, oh, oh)
This you can believe
I will never leave you
Heaven knows I won't
Baby, don't say don't
(Don't, please don't)
