About Don't You Ever Leave Me

"Don't You Ever Leave Me" is a single by the Finnish rock and glam punk band Hanoi Rocks taken from their 1984 hit album Two Steps From The Move. The single was released by CBS. "Don't You Ever Leave Me" made its first appearance on Hanoi Rocks' first album Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks, but it had more punky atmosphere and faster tempo. They remade the version, which the band loved much more. It is usually considered one of the best songs by Hanoi Rocks. The band's guitarist Andy McCoy commented on the song in Finnish Soundi magazine in 1984: "Well, yeah, we screwed up that song so bad back then, that we had to remake it now. As a song, I think it's fucking great and this version is what the original should have been.". The version of "Don't You Ever Leave Me" that's on the 12" single differs from the album and 7" single versions, as the 12" single version features the narration's (originally spoken by McCoy and Razzle) spoken by McCoy in Spanish. The song "Oil And Gasoline" (which was the song's B-side) was a new song that originally made its appearance on the "Underwater World" single the same year in 1984. more »

The nights are wearing me down
And it's hard getting through the day
'cause I need you right now
And right now you're so faraway

I guess I should have known
That I'd end up this way
But I swear I'll come home
And then nothing will drag me away

Don't you ever leave me baby
Don't you ever leave me now
Don't you ever leave me baby
If you leave me you will kill me now

Now that some much time has passed
I know that this love of ours will last forever
'cause we feel it, take it, hold it and believe it
You need me like I need you
I know you do, I'm sure you do

The lights are slowly going down
On Lexington Avenue
And me, I'm all alone feeling the tears
falling down from my eyes

A subway train is passing by
Driving into the Darkness
I jump inside 'cause I ain't got 
nowhere to sleep tonight

Don't you ever leave me baby
Don't you ever leave me now
Don't you ever leave me baby
If you leave me you will kill me now

I was forcing myself just walk through the day
When all I really wanted to do was curl up in a corner and cry
Nothing had any meaning 
And I just thought let's give it another day and see if anything happens
Then you came along like my own ray of sunshine
Made me feel warm, safe and alive again
