Eh, eh, eh, X-C-X
You know I go insane
Every time you have to catch a flight (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Can I take you to the airport?
Make out under the bathroom lights (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Put your lips on my lips
I’ll remember your kiss on the nights when I miss you oh
Somethin’ I can’t forget when I’m restless in bed
Yeah, you got me obsessed (Mm)
Oh, don’t you leave me this way
Won’t you wait another hour or two?
You know I need you to stay
Don’t make me beg for you ’cause I’ll beg for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, yeah
I don’t think I’ll ever feel this type of way again (This way again; Yeah, uh, yeah)
I beg for you, please (Don’t let go), don’t let go of me, don’t let go of me
All the endless conversations about us been going on in our head
In the night, we dream a future together and I feel bad in your bed
I beg for you, please stay, I can’t go a day without
No, I can’t go a day without you, hoo
Oh, don’t you leave me this way
Won’t you wait another hour or two?
You know I need you to stay
Don’t make me beg for you ’cause I’ll beg for you
My heart is achin’, my breath you’ve taken
Oh, babe, I just want a taste
Don’t you leave me this way
Don’t make me beg for you
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me
You’re like an ocean breeze
Comin’ and goin’ just as you please (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Separated by a degree, hesitate and I lose you
So far out of reach
Oh, put your lips on my lips
I’ll remember your kiss on the nights when I miss you, oh-oh
Somethin’ I can’t forget when I’m restless in bed
Yeah, you got me obsessin’ now
Oh, don’t you leave me this way
Won’t you wait another hour or two?
You know I need you to stay
Don’t make me beg for you
My heart is achin’, my breath you’ve taken
Oh, babe, I just want a taste
Don’t you leave me this way
Don’t make me beg for you
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me this
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me this way
This way (Yeah), this way (Yeah)
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me (Yeah), don’t leave me this way (Uh, yeah)
Way, way (Yeah), way, way (Yeah), way, way (Yeah)
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me
This way (Yeah), this way (Yeah)
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me (Yeah), don’t leave me this way (Uh, yeah)
Way, way (Yeah), way, way (Yeah), way, way (Yeah)
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me
This way, way, way, way, way, way
Don’t leave me, way, way, way, way, way, way
It’s Charli, it’s Charli baby
Yeah
Longing and Vulnerability in Modern Love
“Beg For You (A.G. Cook & VERNON OF SEVENTEEN Remix)” by Charli XCX delves into the emotional turbulence of romantic attachment and the fear of separation. The lyrics capture the desperation and vulnerability that arise when a partner is about to leave, whether physically or emotionally. Lines like “Don’t make me beg for you ’cause I’ll beg for you” reveal a willingness to forsake pride in the name of love, highlighting just how deep the connection runs. The chorus, with its repeated pleas, underscores the sense of urgency and the ache of impending absence, while the verses reflect on the irreplaceable nature of this particular bond. The ocean breeze metaphor suggests a love that’s elusive yet essential, drifting in and out of reach, intensifying the yearning.
