Don't Do This
“Don’t Do This” is a poignant narrative about betrayal and the emotional turmoil that follows. The lyrics tell a story of someone who has been deeply hurt by a loved one’s deceit and the resulting pain and disillusionment.
The song recounts being told they were loved and cared for, only to discover that it was all a facade. The realization that the person they trusted turned out to be their “worst fear” reflects a profound sense of letdown. The song describes a scenario where the singer is cheated and lied to, highlighting the manipulative behavior of the other person. Despite the hurt, there’s a sense of determination to overcome the pain and move on, as indicated by the desire to “get rid of all this crazy pain” and “erase you from my mind.” The chorus, with its repeated plea “Don’t do this,” underscores the emotional plea to not be subjected to such pain again.
It’s a powerful expression of the struggle to cope with the aftermath of a relationship where trust has been broken. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the heartache of being let down by someone they believed in.

Don't Do This - Lyrics

​
You told me that you loved me
I thought you really cared
I kept you deep inside my heart
But you turned out to be my worst fear
You’ll put that you’re innocent
You’ll blame me for your lying
And then you’ll leave me all alone
To ruin the next one in line
You’re cheating me as you’re knowing that
I’ll let you go and you won’t be back
I’ve played the fool in all my life
I’m used to all that shit you’ve got
What’s that crap you call love
I don’t think you understood it right
When you kept me up through all those nights
And what you came looking for
Was my cash that helped to buy your smiles
No don’t tell me that’s what you never tried
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t You Do This To Me Again
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t You Do This To Me Again
I don’t need your permissions
Its just you - who thinks you’re right
U keep judging everyone around
Then you’ll start up all your - cheap fights
Mud-slinging and the blame games
in all those days and nights
All your false allegations
Make your loud bark worse than - your bite
You’re losing out in your own game
You’ll curse you friends when you’re to blame
Yes I play the fool but you’ll never stop
I’m used to all that shit you’ve got
What’s that crap you call love
No I don’t think you understood it right
When you kept me up through all those nights
And what you came looking for
Were your plans about a future bright
When your dark soul simply had no light
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t You Do This To Me Again
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t You Do This To Me Again
Don’t You Do This To Me Again
Don’t You Do This To Me Again
I need to get rid of all this crazy pain
This pressure will surely make me go insane
There must be some way to kick you off my life
Erase you from my mind
Here in my life you’ve got no room
My silence is your pending doom
Yes I play the fool but you’ll never stop
I’m used to all that shit you’ve got
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t You Do This To Me Again
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t Do This
Don’t You Do This To Me Again
Don’t You Do This To Me Again
Don’t You Do This To Me Again
