Please read with the song in the foreground.
I danced one Saturday night to this song. My heart, my ears, and my bones filled with love; my muscles pulsated with its light. I felt the invincible strength that music, when I connected to it, was capable of bestowing. I moved through the air of beats, brought back to life, the way I wanted to live: happy as I looked at people dancing around me with trusting curiosity.
The music says one thing, but she asks him not to leave her this way. It reminded me of love’s vulnerable insecurity, as I felt mine in that moment on the dance floor. I didn’t want this energy to leave my body after the song was over and I didn’t want to go on existing back on land, instead of flying with the angels. Don’t leave me happiness.
Hear my plea to be satisfied, God.
If I am not fulfilled within myself, I cannot be fulfilled by another. These are the old words of wisdom. Yet I continue to beg.
Don’t leave me this way
I can’t survive, can’t stay alive
Without your love, oh baby
Don’t leave me this way, no
I can’t exist, I’ll surely miss your tender kiss
Don’t leave me this way
(A broken man with empty hands
Oh baby please, don’t leave me this way)
Aaah baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you gotta do
(Now come on girl and do what you gotta do)
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can’t you see it’s burning out of control
Come on (now) satisfy the need in me
Only your good lovin’ can set me free… hey
Don’t, don’t you leave me this way, no
Don’t you understand I’m at your command
Oh baby please, please don’t leave me this way
Aaah baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you gotta do
(Now come on girl and do what you gotta do)
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can’t you see it’s burning out of control
Come on (now) satisfy the need in me
Only your good lovin’ can set me free… hey
Need your lovin’ baby, need need your love right now…
Your love is so important to me… got to have it…
(‘Cause it would be wrong
To string me along a love so true)
