Don’t 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 hold 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, don't
Don't feel that way
I'm your love and your's I will stay

This you can believe
I will never leave you
Heaven knows I won't
Baby, don't say don't

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

“Elvis was rock'n'roll. He came from the poverty and the pain.” – Link Wray

This is a heartfelt tribute to The King, and Wray delivers it in a dry baritone that would make even Elvis smile. You’ll find the ending is done in signature Link Wray style.

Link Wray performs at The Continental Club in Austin, Texas shortly before his death in 2005.
