“Don’t Let Me Go” is Tholwana’s first solo single released after her debut album 2.0.1.5, which came out in 2018. The song is about living a conflicted relationship with someone who hurts your feelings, yet you can’t stop loving them.
[Intro]
Hmmm
Yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
When you come around my way, I go down low
Down the same rope
You keep bustin' on my L-O-V-E
To the same note
Oh my love, my love, my love, don't do me dirty, no
His drug, his drug, his drug ain't drive me crazy, though
[Chorus]
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
[Verse]
Do you wanna take a bite from me? (no, no, no, no)
Been bit by the enemy (for sure, for sure)
I run up the hill and overboard
Stretch to the east, you throw me north
So hard, I just cannot ignore
But you know that I am never bored, I
Go to the waters to find my reflection, but
All I return with it's on your direction
Like who took a bite from the apple tree?
It was you, no it wasn't me
Like who took a bite from the apple tree?
It was you, no it wasn't me
[Pre-Chorus]
When you come around my way, I go down low
Down the same rope
You keep bustin' on my L-O-V-E
To the same note
Oh my love, my love, my love, don't do me dirty, no
His drug, his drug, his drug ain't drive me crazy, though
[Chorus]
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
[Bridge]
Why do you call just to sell me dreams?
You know I fall for it easily
I don't want more, but I'm not too sure
So, don't come around the block lookin' for my love
Don't come too close, please, don't withdraw
You got that right, yeah, that's the one
Don't need to lie, I'm done
I'm good, I'm good, I don't want your love
No good, no good, just give me some more
No way I stay, it will go wrong
Just one kiss, that's one kiss too much
[Pre-Chorus]
When you come around my way, I go down low
Down the same rope
You keep bustin' on my L-O-V-E
To the same note
Oh my love, my love, my love, don't do me dirty, no
His drug, his drug, his drug ain't drive me crazy, though
[Chorus]
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
Ayayayaya, baby, don't let me go
