I feel the change

I rouse from sleep 

I hear the sound 

Of jangling keys

I know what’s next

It’s no mystery

You’re getting ready

To leave

What can I do 

To make you stay

You may never come back 

If you go away

I’ll block your path

Throw myself on the floor

At your feet

Between you and the door

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go  

You put on your pants

So quietly

Get your things together 

Trying not to look at me

But don’t look now

The jokes on you

I’ll steal your socks

And I’ll sit down on your shoes

If you make the mistake

Of sitting on the couch

I’ll pin you down 

With my paws and my mouth

I’m not too proud 

To scream and cry

In your face

So we’ll never have to say goodbye

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go 

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go 

You try your best to keep me calm

With Prozac, CBD, and Trazodone

But my love is stronger than anything you can do

And I can’t be without you, alone

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go 

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go 

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go 

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go 

I don’t know this

But you do

The day will come 

When I leave you

These desperate stunts

That I pull today

Won’t seem so crazy

To you on that day

So please

Stay with me

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go
