Don't leave

"Don't leave" is a song by LorD and Master featuring Stephen Newton on vocals. Originally by Faithless, this song appears on the Featuring album. The guitar is a set of complex samples that you play on the keyboard, building your own patterns of strumming and chords. It's jolly clever.

Lyrics

Packing your bags like people in the movies do
All severe and not saying a word
And I'm sitting down here just watching you
And I'm thinking

Where has all the love gone
Where's the love gone to

Don't leave
You got me hurting
Don't leave
You know it's never been easy
To love someone like me
Oh, don't leave

Hanging with friends like we used to do
I didn't know anything was wrong
And last night while I was thinking it through
Trying to find who am I
And what you need me to do

Don't leave

There's a record you used to play
There's Joni singing "best to be without you"
And I just what she's singing
Help me, I'm falling

Where did all the love go
Where's the love gone to

Don't leave
You got me hurting
Don't leave
You know it's never been easy
To love someone like me
Don't leave

Where did all the love go
Where's the love gone to

Don't leave
Don't leave

Would fly around the world
Give you what you're giving me
I should have dressed you up in pearls
Found that silk to touch your skin

Don't know how to write a love song
Don't leave
You got me hurting
Don't leave
You know it's never been easy
To love someone like me
Oh, don't leave

Don't leave
Don't leave
Don't leave
