About The Song
– “Don’t” is a song recorded by Elvis Presley and released in 1958. Written and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller
– It became a giant hit all over the world. And it was #1 on the Top 100 chart for one week; and it spent a total of 20 weeks on the Top 100 chart. It peaked at #2 on the Country Best Seller chart and #4 on the Rhythm & Blues chart.
– The song was included in the musical revue Smokey Joe’s Cafe, as a medley with “Love Me”, and cleverly used in the key scene of the 1993 film Dave, right at the moment the President of the United States (played by Kevin Kline), suffers a stroke while making love to a mistress, inside the White House.

Lyric
Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
Don’t, don’t, that’s what you say
Each time that I hold you this way
When I feel like this and I want to kiss you
Baby, don’t say don’tDon’t, don’t leave my embrace
For here in my arms is your place
When the night grows cold and I want to hold you
Baby, don’t say don’tIf you think that this is just a game
I’m playing
If you think that I don’t mean
Every word I’m saying
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Don’t feel that way
I’m your love and yours I will stayThis you can believe
I will never leave you
Heaven knows I won’t
Baby, don’t say don’t
