Don’t Save Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never thought that I would grow so old of seeing the gold
Still I never want it to go
I would hold it up to my cold heart
Feel the way it used to start up
Take me back, take, take, take me back
To the way that I was before
Hungry for what was to come
Now I'm longing for the way I was
[Refrain]
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me back
Give it up, give it up to me
'Cause I can't go on
If your love isn't strong
See, I want it all
Give me, give me all your love
If you can't hold on
Then, baby
Never thought that I would grow so old of seeing the gold
Still I never want it to go
I would hold it up to my cold heart
Feel the way it used to start up
Take me back, take, take, take me back
To the way that I was before
Hungry for what was to come
Now I'm longing for the way I was
[Refrain]
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me back
Give it up, give it up to me
'Cause I can't go on
If your love isn't strong
See, I want it all
Give me, give me all your love
If you can't hold on
Then, baby
[Chorus]
Baby, don't save me now
No (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
No, no
[Verse 2]
All my life I wasn't trying to get on a highway
I was wondering which way to go
Spending all of my damn time (Damn time)
Leaving all the weight behind
Take me back, take, take, take me back
To the song, how'd it used to go-oh?
Screaming for what was to come
Now I'm dreaming 'bout the way I was
[Refrain]
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me back
Give it up, give it up to me
'Cause I can't go on
If your love isn't strong
See, I want it all
Give me, give me all your love
If you can't hold on
Then, baby
Baby, don't save me now
No (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
No, no
[Verse 2]
All my life I wasn't trying to get on a highway
I was wondering which way to go
Spending all of my damn time (Damn time)
Leaving all the weight behind
Take me back, take, take, take me back
To the song, how'd it used to go-oh?
Screaming for what was to come
Now I'm dreaming 'bout the way I was
[Refrain]
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will save me
You say, you say you will, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me back
Give it up, give it up to me
'Cause I can't go on
If your love isn't strong
See, I want it all
Give me, give me all your love
If you can't hold on
Then, baby
[Chorus]
Baby, don't save me now
No (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
No, no
[Bridge]
And if I have to beg for your love
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
Tell me, tell me
Oh, would it ever be enough?
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
T-t-tell me
And if I have to beg for your love
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
Tell me, tell me
Oh, would it ever be enough?
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
[Interlude]
So, baby, don't save me
No, baby, don't save me
[Chorus]
Baby, don't save me now (Again, and again)
No, no (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now (Again, and again)
No, no (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now (Again, and again)
No, no (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now (Again, and again)
No, no (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
No (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now
No, no
[Bridge]
And if I have to beg for your love
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
Tell me, tell me
Oh, would it ever be enough?
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
T-t-tell me
And if I have to beg for your love
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
Tell me, tell me
Oh, would it ever be enough?
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
[Interlude]
So, baby, don't save me
No, baby, don't save me
[Chorus]
Baby, don't save me now (Again, and again)
No, no (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now (Again, and again)
No, no (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now (Again, and again)
No, no (If your love isn't strong)
Baby, don't save me now (Again, and again)
No, no (If your love isn't strong)
[Outro]
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
Don't save me
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
Don't save me
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
Don't save me
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
Don't save me
(Again, and again, and again, and a—)
