Mike & The Mechanics - Don't Lyrics

I don't wanna condescend
I just wanna be your friend
I don't wanna drive your car
I just wanna make a start with you

I don't wanna touch your lace
I just wanna touch your face
Every time I reach for you
You say you don't want me to

You say don't
(Don't hold my hand)
You say don't
(Don't understand)

You say don't
(Don't push too hard)
You say don't
(Don't go too far)

You say don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't

You don't seem to be concerned
When you make my body burn
You don't wanna torture me
It's just a little purgatory

I don't wanna call you names
You insist on playing games
When I try to state my case
You just put me in my place

You say don't
(Don't hold my hand)
You say don't
(Don't understand)

Well, you say don't
(Don't push too hard)
You say don't
(Don't go too far)

You say don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't

Will you walk with me?
Will you talk with me?
Open your heart and be human to me
It's not fantasy, it's reality
The need for you that's consumed me

Girl, you say don't
I don't wanna tempt no fate
You just won't communicate
When I try some sympathy
You just turn your back on me

And you say don't
(Don't hold my hand)
You say don't
(Don't understand)

Well, you say don't
(Don't push too hard)
You say don't
(Don't go too far)

You say don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't

Don't say don't, don't say don't
Don't say don't, don't say don't
Don't say don't

When I [Incomprehensible] for you now
You say don't
When I call your name now, babe
You say don't

You don't seem to be concerned
When you say don't
Don't say don't, don't say don't
Don't say don't
