About This Track

'Don't' by Frightened Rabbit is a rock track from the album 'The Midnight Organ Fight' (2008). The lyrics are a pleading address to “my girl”, asking not to be left behind, not to be forgotten, and urging restraint from harmful habits. There is also a surreal, slightly comic request involving geese, as the speaker tries to keep hold of someone’s attention. The title functions like a repeated verbal tether, returning to the same anxious demand as the verse builds into the chorus momentum.

"Don't" is a track by Frightened Rabbit, from the album The Midnight Organ Fight, released 14th April 2008. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Frightened Rabbit.

Lyrics

Don't

[Verse 1]

Please don't leave me, don't forget me, my girl

Don't leave me here

Please don't leave me, don't desert me, my girl

Don't leave me here

Don't leave me, don't smoke cigarettes

And don't taunt the geese

I don't need me, don't forget me, my girl

Don't leave me here

[Chorus]

In my front room

In my front room

In my heart

Heart

[Verse 2]

Please don't leave me, don't forget me, my girl

Don't leave me here

Please don't leave me, don't desert me, my girl

Don't leave me here

Don't believe me when I say I don't care

'Cause I do need this

Don't leave me, don't forget me, my girl

Don't leave me here

[Chorus]

In my front room

In my front room

In my heart

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro]

In my front room

In my front room

In my front room

In my front room

In my front room
