Don't

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

I met this girl late last year

She said, "Don't you worry, if I disappear"

I told her I'm not really looking for another mistake

I called an old friend thinking that the trouble could wait

But then I jumped right in, a week later returned

I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn

But I gave her my time for two or three nights

Then I put it on pause until the moment was right

I went away for months until our paths crossed again

She told me I was never looking for a friend

Maybe you could swing by my room around ten

Baby, bring the lemon and a bottle of gin

We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late a.m.

Baby, if you wanted me, then you should have just said

She's singing

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

Don't - with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my own

I don't wanna know that, babe

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

Don't - with my love

I told her, she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that, babe

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

And for a couple of weeks, I only want to see her

We drink away the days with a take away pizza

Before a text message was the only way to reach her

Now she's staying at my place, and loves the way I treat her

Singing out Aretha, all over the track like a feature

And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either

But me and her, we make money the same way

Four cities, two planes, the same day

And those shows have never been what it's about

Maybe we'll go together, and just figure it out

I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on the couch

But we should get on the plane or we'll be missing it now

Wish I'd have written it down, the way that things played out

When she was kissing him, how I was confused about

She should figure it out, while I'm sat here singing

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

Don't - with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my own

I don't wanna know that, babe

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

Don't - with my love

I told her, she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that, babe

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

On my hotel door

I don't even know if she knows what for

She was crying on my shoulder, I already told you

Trust and respect is what we do this for

I never intended to be next (get lost)

But you didn't need to take him to bed, that's all

And I never saw him as a threat (get lost)

Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course

It's not like we were both on tour

We were staying on the same f- hotel floor

And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment

But it was never just fun, and I thought you were different

This is not the way you realise what you wanted

It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest

And all this time God knows I'm singing

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

Don't - with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my own

I don't wanna know that, babe

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

Don't - with my love

I told her, she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that, babe

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

Don't - with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my own

I don't wanna know that, babe

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah

Don't - with my love

I told her, she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that, babe

Ah-lah-m-lah-lah
